I bring speech and language services to you!

People today have very busy schedules. It is a very convenient and a time saving service to be seen in your own home or office.
Being seen in your own environment allows you to practice your newly learned skills where you will be using them and in this way helps with carry-over.
In addition, services offered in your own home allow for privacy. I believe the quality of the therapy is better and more personalized.
