OUR SERVICES

 We provide individual, 30 and 60 minute speech therapy sessions for children ages 2–18 in the comfort of the child’s home, daycare or preschool, or within the community, such as a library or park. Services are available throughout Daniel Island, Mount Pleasant, Wando, Huger, and Downtown Charleston. 

To avoid any conflict of interest, we do not provide services to children who attend Philip Simmons Elementary or Philip Simmons Middle School.

SUMMER SPEECH

Our Summer Speech program offers short-term, individualized speech therapy sessions designed to help children stay on track while school is out. It’s an ideal option for children who typically receive speech services through their school, allowing us to continue working on existing IEP goals without the need for a new evaluation. By providing consistent support throughout the summer months, we help prevent regression and keep children making meaningful progress.
