Our main services include: Articulation: Focused on helping children improve the clarity of their speech sounds. Language: Designed to assist children with difficulties in understanding and using language, including receptive and expressive language skills. Augmentative and Alternative Communication: Focused on providing support and/or alternative means of communication through low- and high-tech options such as communication boards and speech-generative devices *Although we do not specialize in fluency, voice, and feeding, these skills may be addressed as part of the child's treatment plan.

We do not have a physical location or clinic. We provide therapy in-home, and in daycares in the East Wake area (Zebulon, Wendell) and surrounding areas.

We serve East Wake (primarily Zebulon and Wendell), Nash, and Franklin counties. We provide teletherapy throughout North Carolina.

Therapy sessions typically last 30 minutes, depending on your child's specific needs and attention span.

We conduct comprehensive language, articulation, and fluency assessments lasting up to 60 minutes. AAC evaluations are typically 60 minutes but may last longer due to the child's communication needs. If the evaluation requires more than 60 minutes, additional costs will occur. Please see pricing page for more information.

Engagement: Child-led approaches encourage children to take the lead, increasing their motivation and interest in therapy activities. Natural Learning: Play-based therapy aligns with how children learn naturally, making it easier for them to grasp new concepts and skills. Individualized Approach: This method allows speech therapists to tailor activities to each child's unique interests and needs, promoting personalized learning experiences. Development of Social Skills: Engaging in play helps children develop essential social skills, such as communication, cooperation, and turn-taking. Reduced Anxiety: A playful environment can reduce stress and anxiety, making children feel more comfortable and open to participating in therapy.

Involvement in Therapy Sessions: Parents, caregivers, and family members often participate in therapy sessions to understand techniques and strategies used by the speech therapist. Home Practice: Families are encouraged to carry over skills learned in therapy to everyday situations, reinforcing progress at home. Education and Training: Speech therapists provide education to families about communication disorders and effective ways to support their loved ones. Goal Setting: Families are involved in setting therapy goals that reflect the individual needs and priorities of the child. Progress Updates: Regular communication between therapists and families ensures that everyone is informed about the child’s progress and any adjustments needed in the therapy plan. Support and Resources: Families receive resources and support to enhance their understanding and management of speech and language challenges.
