Speech Sound Disorders
Articulation disorders occur when a child has difficulty producing specific speech sounds, making their speech less clear. Phonological disorders involve patterns of sound errors—such as dropping or substituting sounds—that affect overall speech intelligibility. With focused practice and support, provided through speech therapy services, children can learn to use sounds correctly, improve their clarity, and feel more confident communicating with others.
Motor speech disorders, such as childhood apraxia of speech or dysarthria, occur when the brain has difficulty planning, coordinating, or controlling the muscles used for speaking. These challenges can make speech sound unclear or inconsistent, even when a child knows exactly what they want to say. Therapy for motor speech disorders emphasizes practice, repetition, and strategies to make communication easier and more effective.
Language
Language delays and disorders affect a child’s ability to understand, process, or use words and sentences. This may look like trouble following directions, limited vocabulary, difficulty forming sentences, or challenges with storytelling and social communication. Early support can make a big difference, helping children build stronger language skills that support learning, friendships, and confidence in school and everyday life.
Literacy
Literacy disorders involve difficulties with reading, writing, and spelling. Children may struggle with recognizing sounds in words (phonological awareness), sounding out words, spelling words, understanding what they read, or putting thoughts into writing. Because literacy and language are closely connected, speech therapy can provide targeted support to strengthen the foundations of reading and writing, giving children the tools they need for success in school and beyond.
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
AAC refers to tools and strategies that support or replace spoken communication. This may include picture systems, communication boards, or high-tech devices like speech-generating tablets. AAC can give children a voice, allowing them to express their wants, needs, and ideas more clearly.
For some children, AAC is a stepping stone to speech development; for others, it becomes their primary way to communicate. Although it utilizes symbolic forms of communication such as pictures, research shows that AAC supports verbal communication as well. The goal is always the same: to help every child share their thoughts and connect with the world.
We can complete a comprehensive AAC assessment to determine the most appropriate communication system for your child.
Payment Methods
At this time, I am accepting private pay clients only. I understand that navigating payment for therapy services is an important part of your decision, and I strive to keep the process as simple and transparent as possible. I may explore opportunities to become in-network with insurance providers in the future, and will share updates as they become available. However, I am currently considered an out-of-network provider.
In the meantime, I am happy to provide superbills (detailed receipts) that you may submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
