Behavioral Feeding Therapy

Our therapists and clinicians also provide services related to behavioral feeding and dysphagia, utilizing sensory integration techniques during individualized therapy.

Speech/Language 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.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy works for children of all ages, using play and your child’s interests to achieve optimal function and reach their potential.

SOCIAL SKILLS

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.

Academic Tutoring​

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.

Kara is one of the kindest human-being I have ever met, my son and I absolutely love her! She is very knowledgeable in her field of work as well as empathetic. She is such a great help to my son.

Speech Start has changed our lives for the better. I cannot say enough good things about their dedication, support and professionalism. Our once-non verbal autistic child is speaking, playing sports and flourishing in his studies. After witnessing the miracle that Speech Start worked with our oldest, we enrolled our youngest child. We have no doubt that Speech Start will once again work their magic and show our youngest the same dedication and compassion. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

I can’t say enough good things about Michaela! Her approach is both professional and compassionate—my son absolutely loves their time with her because she makes it fun. We’ve seen tremendous progress in speech clarity and confidence. Michaela truly goes above and beyond!

Speech Start has been such an important part in my son’s journey. The entire team is nothing short of amazing including the speech, OT, and administrative staff. My son had been in speech and OT elsewhere but we were not seeing much progress. Once we made the switch to Speech Start we started seeing a difference. Ms Shay and staff truly make sure they develop an individualized plan for each child. We feel supported every step of the way. My son truly enjoys going to his sessions. I can’t thank Ms Shay , Ms Kara, Ms Rodnae and Ms Michaela enough for taking such great care of my boy ! Thank you to the entire Speech Start family !

This place has top notch speech therapy. My daughter has been going here for years. The assessment process is very thorough and the results were spot on. We love our therapist, Danielle. The only downside is the front office space. They use the lounge area for OT so you can’t even walk inside and use the bathroom. You have to text your therapist when you arrive. They need a waiting area and bathroom facilities for parents (and younger siblings).

I would recommend Speech Start 10/10. The staff is so sweet and fun. My daughter loved getting to go to her sessions every week. I can see a massive difference in my daughters speech.

Helping your child develop their superpower!
