Our Center
Speech Therapy
Whether your child is a late talker, has difficulty pronouncing sounds or words, or has complex communication needs, we have experienced Speech-Language Pathologists who can help. Our focus is to make communication meaningful while focusing on your child’s strengths and personal interests. We work collaboratively with the family and other disciplines to meet your child’s developmental needs.
Occupational Therapy
Our Occupational Therapists use a strength based approach to foster active engagement and participation in activities. We will work closely with your family to develop a care plan that empowers your child to gain independence across the occupations of childhood: play, eating, drinking, dressing, self-care and more.
Feeding Therapy
Feeding issues affect not only the child and their and development, but also the family’s daily stress levels. Whether your child has severe feeding challenges or a milder case of food selectivity, we are here to help create a positive mealtime experience! Our team will develop a customized treatment plan through oral motor and sensory approaches that best addresses your childs feeding and swallowing needs.

Parent Testimonials
Lauren
Parent
Highly recommend Carly to any parent seeking a compassionate and skilled speech therapist for their child. From our first meeting, she was incredibly empathetic and truly understood my concerns as a parent. Carly’s expertise and the quality of her services are outstanding, and she has a natural ability to connect with children. My son, who initially hesitated, quickly grew to love his sessions with her, eagerly looking forward to each one. Her approach makes learning fun, and we’ve seen remarkable progress.

You are looking for the missing speaking piece to your child Carly is that piece! She has been working with my son for almost 6 years now. He was completely non verbal starting with her and is now talking using some sentences! She has taught me so many things and tricks on how to work with him and help him find his words! Without her I truly don’t know if i would have yet to hear my childs voice! She makes learning so fun my son counts the days down until he sees her again! If you get the chance to work with her please do not pass it up! She is amazing!”
