-
Our in-home evaluations help us understand how your child communicates, learns, and interacts in everyday life.
We combine parent input, observation, and formal assessment tools to identify your child's strengths and determine whether additional support may be beneficial. If therapy is recommended, we'll review the results with you and develop clear, meaningful goals to guide your child's progress over the coming months.

Is your child not talking yet, using only a few words, or having trouble communicating their wants and needs? We use play, songs, books, and everyday routines to help children build language skills in a way that feels fun and natural. We also partner closely with parents, sharing simple strategies you can use throughout the week.
Early language therapy will help your child:
Use words to communicate wants, needs, and ideas
Understand and follow directions more easily
Expand their vocabulary
Reduce frustration
Connect with others
-
Many children know what they want to say but have trouble making the sounds needed to say it clearly. We help children learn how to use their tongue, lips, and jaw to produce speech sounds accurately, gradually building those skills into everyday conversation.
Speech therapy will help your child:
Speak clearly and produce speech sounds accurately
Be understood more easily by family, friends, and teachers
Notice and self-correct speech errors
Feel more confident communicating with others
-
Learning to listen is a journey, and we’re here to help! We specialize in helping new listeners connect sounds with meaning. Our sessions will support your child’s brain in learning what sounds and words are, and how to use those words to communicate with others in daily life.
Listening & Spoken Language Therapy will help your child:
Recognize, understand, and respond to spoken language
Learn how to manage their hearing technology and advocate for themselves
Build age-appropriate speech and language skills
Participate confidently in social and academic situations
With Listening and Spoken Language Therapy, your child can learn to listen and talk just like a typically-hearing child!

Language therapy will help your child:
Understand and follow directions in school

Meet Your Speech Therapist
Hi, I’m Amanda Ball, M.S., CCC-SLP
Owner, Speech-Language Pathologist
I'm a pediatric speech therapist with more than 15 years of experience helping children build strong communication skills. I’m especially passionate about working with babies, toddlers, and preschoolers with hearing loss— and over the past 6 years, I’ve specialized in helping children who use hearing aids or cochlear implants learn to listen and talk. I love helping kids transform the way they sound and share their voices with the world!
As a mom of two little ones, I know how hard it is to see your child be misunderstood, self-conscious, or frustrated about their speech. I'll take the time to listen to your concerns, understand your goals, and show you real-life strategies that you can use to help them grow each day.
My sessions are research-based, but they’re also fun! You'll see us singing songs, reading books, playing on the floor, and making crafts as your child builds new skills. I look forward to celebrating every new sound, word, and milestone with you as your child grows into a confident communicator!
