What is
Centered Speech Therapy?
Play
At Sweet Speech Co., play is never "just playing". It's one of the most powerful ways children learn. Every game, book, movement activity, and pretend play experience is intentionally chosen to target your child's communication goals while keeping them engaged and motivated. Through play, children naturally practice speech, language, literacy, social communication, problem-solving, and self-regulation in ways that feel meaningful and carry over into everyday

Difficulty being understood, limited vocabulary, trouble following directions, challenges with reading or writing, or frustration communicating can all be signs that an evaluation may be helpful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Families
"I cannot recommend Ms. Sophia enough. She was amazing with our middle from the first hello til our last session, following his lead while still challenging him to grow. With her, therapy felt like play time but with all the benefits of learning and growing. Often times we’d pass the center and he’d get excited thinking it was therapy day asking for “Phia”. I believe he would not have made such leaps and bounds in his communication had he had a different speech therapist. We wish we still lived close to continue our speech journey with her!"
"We started our journey 3 years ago and have had the great opportunity to have Ms.Sophia as our son's teacher. She has been an absolute blessing and a wonderful teacher and we owe our son's vastly growing speech to her. To a boy who could barely say a sentence to a little boy who can tell you the scientific names of dinosaurs is all because of Ms.Sophia and the impact she had and the knowledge she blessed our son with. We will forever be so grateful for helping our baby to find his voice."
"Going to speech therapy for the first time with your autistic kids can be scary, but Ms. Sophia made us feel so welcomed and met my kids exactly where they were at. My daughter can especially have trouble in a classroom or therapy setting and Ms. Sophia took the extra time to learn her and her interests to make the most of our time together. Like having her favorite game or activity ready when we came in, knowing her favorite characters names, and helping me with her AAC device. To say we were sad to lose her would be the biggest understatement. Ms. Sophia was such a special first part of our speech therapy journey, and any child would be lucky to have her be apart of their journey too!"
"Sophia is absolutely amazing. After one session with her we could tell that she was genuine and had so much passion and love for helping others. We grew to love her over the year that she worked with our boy. When she started working with him he could barely say a handful of words, after a few months the amount of words he could say had grown and within the year he actually started speaking in short sentences! Sophia made each session so much fun, he loved the days we got to see her. He thought it was just play time but she had a knack for getting him to make different sounds and trying to pronounce different words. Sophia has such a special gift working with kids and we are so grateful for her. "
