Speech Start provides
services for individuals ages 0 to 21+
Speech Start therapists create individual and group programs for each of our clients, from therapies for speech, ASD, language and voice disorders, or social skills. We provide academic tutoring support as well as behavioral feeding, sensory integration, and addressing fluency disorders.
Age and skill leveled groups focusing on improving social interaction through fun and motivating lessons and activities.
Our therapists and clinicians also provide services related to behavioral feeding and dysphagia, utilizing sensory integration techniques during individualized therapy.
Speech Start’s staff of highly qualified speech-language pathologists develop and personalize programs that meet the functional and developmental needs of children and adolescents who are special learners.
At Speech Start, our Social Skills Program is designed to empower children with the tools they need to navigate social interactions confidently and effectively. This program focuses on developing essential social communication skills through engaging, interactive activities tailored to each child’s unique needs.
Speech Start’s highly qualified team of teachers and special educators provide tutoring in all academic subjects from grades k-12. Speech Start can provide literacy, language arts, science, history, and mathematics tutoring for both typical learners and children and adolescents who have speech or language-impairments.

Engaging the brain and body! 🧠Watch Ms. Jaimee utilize vestibular input to promote engagement while practicing DTTC! Dynamic temporal and tactile cueing (DTTC) is a form of apraxia treatment that follows a hierarchy of speech to work on production. This hierarchy includes simultaneous speech, direct imitation, delayed imitation, and spontaneous speech! In the video above, Ms. Jaimee is using delayed imitation to target the words “up” and “down!” 🙌⭐️ #speechstartnj #dttc

🌟 Feeding Skills: It’s All About the Full Body Connection! 🌟
In the first video, Charlie is practicing a key fine motor skill — scooping cereal with a spoon 🥄 But here’s the catch: feeding is about more than just what’s happening above the table!
In the second pic, notice how Charlie’s feet are supported, and his body is positioned in a 90-90-90 posture. This is a crucial element in feeding. When a child’s feet are firmly planted and their posture is aligned, it creates a stable base that supports controlled arm and hand movements like holding a spoon, scooping, and bringing food to the mouth with precision. 🙌 #speechstartnj #feeding #occupationaltherapy
