Evaluations
The initial evaluation will identify your child’s communication challenges and help us develop a specific treatment plan. This process will also document your child’s current skills before therapy begins so that we can monitor progress and measure growth during therapy. If your child participated in a recent speech-language evaluation or an annual IEP review, we may reference that report and proceed straight to therapy.
Therapy
Articulate Adventures believe that successful therapy includes goal-driven strategies, child-led activities, and consistent home practice. Our sessions are programmed to incorporate your child’s goals into activities that interest them because children learn best when they are motivated and engaged! We also take time to coach you, as caregivers, to help your child make quicker progress by working toward their goals between sessions.

About the Practice
SPEECH SOUND DISORDERS
We use a variety of strategies to keep your child
involved during speech therapy. We may use mirrors for visual feedback, play dough for tactile cues, recording devices for auditory feedback as well as pictures cues to keep your child engaged while teaching them how to properly produce speech sounds.
Speech therapy could help your child:
Use speech sounds accurately
Speak clearly so that others understand them
Confidently communicate with friends and others
Gain new skills that improve spelling, reading,
and writing skills
Self-monitor and correct their own speech errors
FLUENCY/STUTTERING
We understand hat each child’s journey with stuttering looks different, and we are committed to tailoring our therapy to your child’s specific needs. Our approach considers how your child feels about their own speech, how their stutter affects their daily life, and how their speech system responds to fluency techniques. We help your child become the expert on their stuttering and guide them toward their goals. Fluency therapy may help your child:

Develop essential cognitive skills for learning
Understand and process what they hear or read
