Speech Therapy That Celebrates Every Voice
Speech Therapy for a Wide Range of Needs
We provide support for all ages, from infancy through adulthood, addressing diverse communication challenges with evidence-based, neurodiversity-affirming care.
Emergent Language
Support for the early stages of communication development. We focus on building engagement, joint attention, and the foundations of language through play.
Delayed Language Production (Late Talker)
For those who aren't using as many words as expected or aren't combining words yet. We identify the root cause and build communication in a pressure-free way.
Speech Sound Disorders
Difficulty producing certain sounds or being understood by others. We work on speech clarity using playful, evidence-based techniques.
Childhood Apraxia of Speech
A motor planning disorder that makes it hard to coordinate the movements needed for speech. We use specialized, research-backed methods to build reliable speech.
Fluency (Stuttering)
Support for those who experience disfluencies in their speech. We focus on confidence, communication ease, and techniques that honor every voice.
Expressive & Receptive Language
Challenges with understanding language or expressing thoughts and ideas. We help bridge the gap between comprehension and communication.
Gestalt Language Processing
For those who learn language in 'chunks' (Echolalia/Scripting) rather than single words. We use the Natural Language Acquisition framework to support their natural learning style.
Social Skills (Neurodiversity Aligned)
Supporting authentic social connection and self-advocacy. We focus on navigating social worlds while honoring neurodivergent ways of interacting.
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
Implementing tools—from picture boards to high-tech devices—to support or supplement speech. We find the right system to ensure every voice is heard.
What Speech Therapy Sessions Look Like
Therapy at Empowered Therapy Collective looks different than what you might expect. Therapy goals are targeted using meaningful and playful interaction.
Engaging activities
We follow specific interests to create engaging, motivating therapy sessions.
Natural contexts
Skills are practiced in meaningful situations, not isolated drills.
Family involvement
You'll learn what we're doing and why, with strategies to use between sessions.
Progress monitoring
We track growth and adjust our approach to keep things moving forward.
Our Approach in Action
Leading with interests, following the flow
Whether it's a specific interest, hobby, or sensory preference, we build communication opportunities around what matters most.
Communication, not just words
We value all forms of communication—gestures, sounds, AAC, and words. The goal is authentic connection.
No pressure, just support
We create opportunities and model language. We don't force performance or demand imitation.
