Every session is paired with a home practice program, ensuring skills are reinforced beyond the therapy session and progress is maximized in real-life settings.
Our approach is more than therapy, it’s a comprehensive, high-quality communication experience. Every child or adult is supported in a way that maximizes progress, reduces frustration, and builds confidence.

Teletherapy: Fun, Interactive, and Loved by Kids
Thanks to the adaptability of teletherapy, we can now offer our services across the state of Florida and all islands of Hawaii. Teletherapy is especially engaging for children for children ages 4-7 with interactive, play based activities that make learning speech and language fun.
Virtual sessions are a convenient option for families with busy schedules and are offered at $75 per session. If you’re curious but unsure about trying Teletherapy, we may be able to coordinate a complementary trial session so you and your child can experience just how fun and engaging it can be!
For families seeking therapy directly with our director, Melanie, who has been recognized by the American Speech-Language Hearing Association Magazine and runs an internationally acclaimed parent coaching program, teletherapy may also be available outside of Florida and Hawaii. For families willing to cover licensure costs, she can sometimes coordinate sessions across state lines. Please contact our office for details.
Evaluations
Our evaluations combine standardized testing, parent and client interviews, and informal observations to provide a complete understanding of your child’s communication strengths and needs.
The process begins with a detailed intake form, which gives the therapist background information and helps select the most appropriate assessment tools. Evaluations can be conducted in your child’s natural environment or virtually, depending on your preference.
After the assessment, families receive a full report and personalized treatment plan within one week. Recommendations include whether therapy is warranted, as well as the suggested frequency and length of sessions.
If there is a waitlist for therapy services, caregivers are notified prior to the evaluation to ensure transparency and planning.
