From articulation to AAC Devices, Reach for Speech offers individualized and evidence-based therapy for children of all ages and abilities. We understand the unique needs of each child and help them to reach their speech and communication goals. Our therapists are compassionate, knowledgeable, and experienced in their field, giving each family personalized care and support. We strive to foster a positive, encouraging environment that will encourage children to explore their voices and communication skills.

We offer a range of services, including sensory integration, play therapy, reflex integration, handwriting training, fine and gross motor skill activities, self-regulation, social and emotional skill development, visual-motor skill development, and more. We believe in a holistic approach, assessing the child’s condition from the physical and emotional levels as well as their cognitive and social levels, providing a comprehensive plan to optimize the child’s development and function in all aspects of their life.

Our kid's physical therapy services include the treatment and management of diseases, injuries, and developmental disabilities with the goal of improving gross motor skills, balance, strength, range of motion, and coordination. We utilize a variety of comprehensive therapeutic approaches, such as hippotherapy, gait training and balance activities, manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and sensorimotor activities. Our experienced physical therapists also provide guidance and education to families, schools, and other service providers in order to create a tailored and comprehensive therapeutic environment for our young patients.

At Reach for Speech, we approach Feeding Therapy from both the Occupational and Speech Therapy perspectives. Whether your child has sensory issues with certain textures or smells, or they struggle with the oral motor skills necessary to swallow solid foods, we can help!

Though every child is different and can reach milestones at their own pace, it may be helpful to refer to the CDC’s Developmental Milestones checklists when gauging whether or not your child might benefit from additional developmental support.
