About Speech and Smile
Speech and Smile is led by a neurodivergent-affirming SLP who creates a fun, engaging space for children to explore and build communication skills. Our sessions focus on progress and fun, using strategies that captivate kids and make the “speech room” a place they love to visit. We also empower parents as partners in therapy, offering a range of services including concierge packages for extra support beyond sessions. Our goal is to help your child make meaningful communication progress in the shortest time possible.
