Unlike traditional speech therapy, coaching doesn’t start with standardized testing. Instead, we take time to learn about your family’s unique routines, challenges, and goals. Together, we talk about what’s working, what feels hard, and where you’d like more support. Then, we design practical, evidence-based strategies you can use at home, at school, or in the community. Sessions are collaborative, flexible, and tailored to your loved one’s needs and your family’s priorities.
