Speech Buddies Connect and Speech Buddies Games allow users to communicate with other users on the platform. Please read these Terms of Use carefully before using the services offered by Speech Buddies, Inc. Therapy occurs through play in a relationship based on mutual respect and trust. Children benefit from increased self-esteem and confidence as their communication skills grow.

In addition to parents and care-givers, I work closely with teachers and other therapy providers (such as occupational therapists) to provide coordinated service delivery and maximum support to young children and their families. I believe strongly in relationship-driven and play-based therapy models and treating the individual child within the context of his family and community. Additionally, I provide personalized supplemental services for school age children with existing IEP goals, as well as therapy for older children with articulation and speech clarity issues. I apply a variety of therapeutic strategies to address speech/language delay, language disorder, childhood apraxia of speech, dysarthria, oral motor issues, phonological disorders, stuttering, ASD, and articulation difficulties. My philosophy of practice includes play based therapy and parent/teacher coaching on an individual basis. I specialize in providing assessment and treatment for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers at risk for communication delay and with identified speech and language disorders.
