What is articulation?
Articulation therapy targets difficulties with specific speech sounds that may impact clarity and speech intelligibility (how others understand what is being said). This can include challenges with sounds such as /r/, /s/, blends, or other age-expected speech patterns.
Using evidence-based strategies and motor-based practice, therapy is designed to build accurate sound production step-by-step — from isolation to conversation — with emphasis on carryover into real-life communication settings.
Sessions are engaging, structured, and individualized to support both skill development and communicative confidence.
What are language services?
Language-based therapy supports children in developing the foundational and higher-level communication skills needed for everyday life and academic success.
This includes:
Receptive language — understanding directions, processing information, answering questions, and comprehending spoken and written language.
Expressive language — organizing thoughts, forming sentences, using grammar correctly, expanding vocabulary, and clearly communicating ideas.
Developmental communication skills — joint attention, play skills, early vocabulary growth, narrative development, problem-solving, listening comprehension, inferencing, and flexible language use.
What is stuttering?
Stuttering is a natural variation in speech that may include repetitions, prolongations, or blocks. For some children, these moments can impact confidence, participation, or comfort in communication.
Therapy focuses on supporting communicative confidence while gently building skills that reduce tension and increase ease of speech. Sessions may address fluency-enhancing strategies, reducing secondary behaviors, and increasing self-advocacy — all within a supportive and stuttering-affirming environment. and reliable results. It’s not just what we do—it’s how we do it that sets us apart.
What is AAC?
AAC (Augmentative & Alternative Communication) includes tools and strategies that support or replace spoken language for individuals who need additional ways to communicate.
AAC can be:
Low-tech, such as picture boards, communication books, or visual supports
High-tech, such as speech-generating devices or communication apps
AAC does not prevent speech development. In fact, research shows that AAC often supports and enhances spoken language growth.
At We Talk, AAC is used to help children communicate their wants, needs, thoughts, and feelings in meaningful and functional ways. Therapy focuses on building language through AAC systems, increasing independence, and supporting families in using communication tools confidently across settings.
The goal is always communication — in whatever form best supports your child.
What is Early Intervention?
Early intervention supports infants and toddlers who are developing foundational communication skills.
During the early years, communication growth happens rapidly. If a child is experiencing delays in speech, language, play, or social engagement, early support can make a meaningful difference.
Therapy may focus on:
Joint attention
Play skills
Early vocabulary development
Imitation skills
Following directions
Expanding expressive language
Supporting early social interaction.
