“Make a picture in your mind… now tell me about it.” That’s what we’re working on in visualizing and verbalizing — helping kids turn their thoughts into language that others can understand. Eventually, when ideas get easier to express, everything else starts to feel a little easier too.

Not to ruin the illusion… but a lot of speech therapy just looks like playing. (It’s very intentional playing, but still.) Kids learn best when they’re engaged, comfortable, and having fun, so that’s where we start! 😋

Swanson Speech Therapy is a strengths-based and play-focused clinic, helping each child communicate in ways that feel natural and comfortable to them. One concept that informs our practice: the 'double empathy problem.' Research suggests that the communication differences autistic people experience aren't about a lack of empathy — they reflect a genuine difference in how the world is experienced. Connection works best when both sides lean in. That's the spirit behind everything we do, and children often benefit from early support.

✨ Where does speech therapy take place?
• We provide a variety of different treatment settings, including our clinic space, virtual, your home, and or community settings such as your child’s school or daycare.

✨ How often can my child have speech therapy?
• The frequency of sessions is dependent on your child’s needs and is determined case by case. However, we typically provide sessions 1-3 times per week for each child we treat.

✨ Do you accept insurance?
