Speech Therapy
As a mom, you want your child to thrive, communicate, and connect with the world around them. At ProActive, we’re here to help make that happen. Specializing in speech and language therapy for babies and children, we empower little ones to find their voice and support parents like you every step of the way.
Speech and language therapy focuses on helping children overcome challenges with communication. Whether it’s saying their first word, speaking clearly, or understanding how to connect their thoughts to language, we’re here to guide them toward progress.
every child’s potential is within reach
Your 3-year-old might be saying “wabbit” instead of “rabbit.” That’s where articulation therapy can help them learn to pronounce sounds correctly.
Maybe your 18-month-old hasn’t started saying words yet, and you’re wondering if they’re on track. We’ll work on building foundational language skills through play-based strategies.
For example:
Speech:
Language:
Here’s how we help:
- We’ll show you simple strategies to use at home, so therapy doesn’t stop when the session ends.
- Addressing challenges early makes a world of difference. From delayed speech milestones to social communication concerns, we provide a nurturing environment to encourage growth.
- Kids learn best when they’re having fun. Our sessions are full of engaging activities that feel like play but are packed with developmental purpose.
- Regular check-ins and detailed feedback ensure you’re always in the loop.
You are your child’s best advocate!
i wonder...
Have you ever wondered about the following?
Is my child saying enough words for their age. They often get frustrated when trying to tell me something.
Why is my child using phrases or can sing a whole song but doesn't communicate with me using words?
My child is over the age of 2 and they aren't talking but loves singing and uses a lot of sounds I can't understand. Could they be a gestalt language processor?
Does my child understand what I am saying to them?
My 18-month-old only has one or two words, is this normal?
My child communicates really well but they don't use words, they pull my hand or grunt and point to things they need.
How can I help them add more words to their vocabulary and communicate more?
My child is getting really frustrated when I don't understand them or they can't tell me what they want. Can AAC help with this frustration and behaviors?
School mentioned getting my child visuals or an AAC device? What does that mean? Does my insurance cover that?
How do I get a device purchased through insurance and not just borrowed from school?
How can I support my child's language development when they aren't verbally communicating yet?
