We provide pediatric speech and language therapy that is individualized, play-based, and neurodiversity-affirming. We partner with families to help children build meaningful communication skills that support everyday life.
Do you have concerns about your child’s speech or language development?
Speech
Does your child consistently mispronounce certain letters, or do others find them difficult to understand?

Communication
Does your child lead you to what they want instead of asking? Do they become frustrated when others don't understand them, or communicate in ways that look different from other children their age? We help children build communication using speech, signs, AAC, and other meaningful ways to connect.

Language
Is your toddler not yet using words, or not yet combining words into short sentences? Does your preschooler struggle to follow questions or answer questions? Is your child able to decode, but struggling with reading comprehension?

Play & Thrive Speech Therapy is a clinician-owned pediatric practice serving families throughout Anne Arundel County. We believe children learn best through connection, play, and meaningful relationships, and we partner with families to support communication beyond the therapy room.
