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.
“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.”
– Patrick’s Mom
