Speech Therapy
We will target specific sounds and accurate pronunciation of core vocabulary to help children improve their speech skills and confidence in their ability to communicate.
Early Intervention
Along with direct therapy, parents and caregivers will learn strategies to support speech, language, and early literacy development at home and within daily routines.
Autism
Using the Hanen Program “More than Words”, we coach parents on strategies for increasing communication and play and skills by building practice into daily routines.

Kelly Dwyer, M.A., CCC-SLP
OWNER, SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST
As a mother of 3 and a speech therapist with over 2 decades of experience, I know parenting is a joy, but also hard work. When your child is having difficulty communicating, it can be frustrating – for everyone – but especially your little one! I value parents and caregivers as their children's most important teachers. This is why I take a collaborative approach, partnering with parents, caregivers, and teachers throughout the therapy process, to help your child communicate more effectively in all environments.

School or Daycare
Children often feel most comfortable learning in their natural environment. I offer in-home sessions with a focus on coaching parents to use helpful communication strategies in their daily routines.
Therapy sessions can be conveniently woven into a child’s daycare or school schedule. I am happy to include teachers and daycare providers in the therapy process for the best outcomes.
Online therapy sessions are offered using a HIPAA-compliant version of Zoom. I am dedicated to making speech-language therapy engaging and accessible for all children!
