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?

Speech and Language Milestones 

Speech Therapy Annapolis MD
 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?
