Services Offered

  • Feeding Therapy

    At Speech Without Limits Therapy, we believe that trust is foundational to encouraging healthy food explorers. Feeding therapist isn’t just “Teaching a Child to eat”. The Speech-Language Pathologist will work closely with the patient and their families to identify the root cause of the patients feeding difficulties and use specific evidence-based techniques to encourage the development of healthy, and fun eating experiences.

  • Orofacial MyoFunctional Therapy

    Oral Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) is a program used to encourage the correct use/development of the function of the tongue and facial muscles in children and adults. Oral Myofunctional disorders can vary from a Tongue thrust and mouth breathing (lips apart/mouth open at rest) to Jaw malocclusions and Tongue Ties.

    Oral Myofunctional Disorders can have a variety of etiologies, and addressing the root problem with OMT may help to remediate multiple issues at once (i.e. Correcting the oral resting posture may assist in remediating select speech sounds).

  • Early Intervention Services

    Early Intervention Services

    At Speech Without Limits, we believe that family involvement is at the core of all successful therapy, especially for our Early Language Learners. Early intervention is an approach to Language development that targets the birth of three populations to support the development of foundational communication skills.

    This service delivery model uses family training and parent involvement to create a tailor-made evidenced program to encourage early Social Skills and Expressive/Receptive Language Development.

  • Speech Therapy

    At Speech Without Limits Therapy, our Speech Therapy is tailor-made to address the patient’s individual needs whether it be trouble producing Speech sounds, or dysfluencies (i.e. stuttering/cluttering).

  • Language Therapy

    Language Therapy can address a patient's difficulty communicating using spoken/written Language or gestures over the lifespan. The Speech Language Pathologist will collaborate with the patient and their family to create a plan that addresses the areas of weakness in any of the following areas (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics) to increase overall communication.

  • Parent Coaching

    Parent coaching is a type of speech and language therapy (SLP) that focuses on helping parents understand and support their child's speech and language development. The therapist works with the parents to educate them about their child's specific needs and goals, and provides them with strategies and techniques to use at home to promote their child's development. This may include activities and exercises to do with the child, as well as suggestions for ways to incorporate language-rich experiences into the child's daily routine.

  • Infant Feeding Support

    At Speech Without Limits Therapy, we can assess and address difficulties such as breastfeeding challenges, bottle-feeding issues, tongue/lip tie concerns, and swallowing disorders that can impact an infant's ability to feed.

    We collaborate with families through personalized strategies to optimize positioning, latching, sucking, and swallowing techniques, tailoring interventions to each infant's unique needs.

    By working with your healthcare professionals, we foster successful feeding habits for infants and promote their overall development and well-being.

  • A combination of expertise and convenience, teletherapy has proven to be as effective as traditional speech therapy. The benefits of teletherapy include the ability to improve communication skills with a licensed and ASHA-certified Speech-Language Pathologist without leaving the comfort of their own home. It can be especially helpful for children who live in rural or underserved areas, or who have difficulty traveling to see a healthcare provider in person.

    While telehealth can be an effective therapy option, it is not always the best option for children, especially very young children. Before choosing a treatment plan for a child, it's recommended that you collaborate with a healthcare provider to determine if telehealth is a good option and how to maximize its benefits.

  • At Speech Without Limits Therapy, our session rates begin at $75 and are determined by session duration and service location. Sessions typically span 30, 45, or 60 minutes, although our orofacial myofunctional therapy sessions are consistently 45 minutes. Please be aware that we operate on a private pay basis and do not accept insurance.

  • The length of time it takes to see results from Speech Therapy can vary depending on a number of factors, including the severity of the communication disorder, the child's age and overall development, and the intensity and frequency of therapy. In general, children with milder communication disorders or who are older may make progress more quickly than those with more severe disorders or who are younger.

    It's also important to remember that every child is different, and what works for one child may not work for another. If you would like Speech Therapy to succeed, you must learn and implement the strategies provided. Your child's best teacher is you.
