🎵 Here’s the story… of a bunch of clinicians…

The Speech Hens Bunch! 😉

Meet the faces behind the therapy, the laughs, the learning, and just a little bit of clinic chaos!

Our in-clinic team brings a whole flock of experience and expertise, supporting children, teens, and adults with speech, language, literacy, feeding, fluency, AAC, voice, and more.

Just like every good sitcom family, we each bring our own personalities, strengths, and special talents to the bunch- but we’re all working toward the same goal:

❤️ Helping our clients Communicate with Confidence.

What's the deal with decodable books anyways?
**DM us for a copy of our recommended decoable readers!**

You've probably heard the term "decodable books" floating around, but what exactly are they?

It's a book that contains words that a child can read using their letter-sound patterns theyve already been taught.

📚 In other words.... a book that matches their skills!

WHY DOES THAT MATTER? 🤔

When children learn to read, we want them to practice decoding.. using their knowledge of sounds and letter to figure out familiar words.

Decodable books give them lots of opportunities to practice those skills successfully.

Other books are great fir building vocabulary, comprehension, background knowledge, and developing oral language skills.

WHAT DO THEY PROVIDE?
👉🏽Practice applying skills
👉🏽Opportunities to blends sounds into words
👉🏽Repeated practice with patterns
👉🏽A chance to experience "I figured that out myself!!!"

FIND DECODABLE READERS AND MORE AT YOUR LOCAL BOOKSTORE AND LIBRARY 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗸 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘆 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗟𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆

Dont forget to log those books you read on the Beanstack app to earn points for your school with READ YOUR WAY TO THE FAIR. See you at the Norfolk County Fair from October 6-12, 2026

Therapy that means something.

At Speech Hens, our therapy sessions are more than just activities at a table.

Every session is:
🩵Meaningful- connected to your child’s real-life goals, interests, and communication needs.

❤️Carefully Planned-our clinicians come prepared with purposeful activities and strategies designed specifically for each client.

💙Supportive- we create a space where clients feel safe, celebrated, and encouraged to try..even when something feels hard.

💜Engaging- because learning happens best when you’re having fun! We use play, creativity, movement, games, and your child’s interests to keep therapy motivating.

Behind every silly game, craft, book, sensory activity, and laugh is a whole lot of clinical thinking.

We want our clients to leave each session feeling successful, confident, and excited to come back.

Meaningful. Carefully planned. Supportive. Engaging.

That’s the Speech Hens way. 🐔❤️
