🤨 when should I call a speech therapist? You should consult a speech therapist when you feel concerned. We are trained to determine if and when your child needs intervention. Research shows that the earlier you start treatment, the better the outcome. Don’t hesitate to call!

Building a marble run is a great cooperative activity. You can work on waiting your turn & sharing supplies. It is also a great way to work on prepositions. Building something together and working towards a shared goal is a social skill kids need to have. #speechtherapy#autism
We love this recent testimonial for one of our therapists, Siena Viviano:
"Siena is such a special therapist. She exuded warmth every time she walked through our door and demonstrated incredible knowledge and expertise in delivering speech therapy to my 2 year old son.. [cont]
…She was creative and patient in her approach - constantly finding ways to engage him through play and meal time. She went above and beyond in offering support to me, as a parent figuring out how to navigate my son’s speech delays.. [cont]
Is there anything better than a family dinner going well? We loved this feedback from a recent client’s parent:
“everyone in my house ate the same dinner last night and I was overjoyed.”
Send your picky eaters our way! 🥦
