How Our Speech Therapy for Kids Works
Our process starts with a warm welcome and a clear understanding of where your child is right now:
- Assessment – We listen, observe, and assess how your child speaks, listens, and understands.
- Personalized Plan – We develop a step-by-step therapy program, targeting areas like articulation, fluency, vocabulary, or social communication.
- Engaging Sessions – Using toys, games, songs, and role-play, we help your child gain confidence while building essential skills.
- Parent Involvement – We train and guide parents to support their child’s progress at home between sessions.
