Whole-Child Support During the Most Important Years

The Care They Deserve. The Growth They Need.

At The Speech Studio, we work with children ages 1 to 4 who need help communicating, eating, breathing properly, or meeting other milestones.

Our approach is personalized, playful, and backed by specialized training across multiple areas.

Don’t wait—your child deserves care that looks at the whole picture.

Is Your Child Meeting Their Milestones?

  • By 12 Months: 1-2 Words
  • By 2 Years: 200 Words
  • By 3 Years: 1,000 Words
  • By 4 Years: 1,500+

If your child isn’t meeting these milestones—or you’re not sure—it’s never too early to reach out. Early support can make all the difference.

Who Benefits From Early Intervention?

We Help Children Who:

  • Have limited words or aren’t combining words
  • Struggle to express themselves even though they seem to understand everything
  • Are hard to understand or not speaking yet
  • Have feeding difficulties (picky eating, gagging, or difficulty chewing)
  • Show signs of mouth breathing, hyperactivity, poor sleep, or open-mouth posture
  • Need help with muscle tone, oral coordination, or motor planning
  • Difficulty communicating often leads to tantrums or outbursts

If your child shows any of these signs, early intervention can make a lasting difference—support now leads to success later .

What Makes Us Different

Early intervention at The Speech Studio goes beyond traditional therapy. We bring together multiple specialties all in one place—so your child gets complete, coordinated care from the very beginning.

This Means:

  • Fewer therapists to juggle
  • Combined sessions for speech, feeding, and oral development
  • Root causes addressed early, not just symptoms
  • Faster progress and the possibility of fewer years in therapy later on

We don’t just wait for development to catch up—we guide it intentionally, using proven methods and whole-child care.

Speech & Language Therapy

  • Play-based therapy: to build language through connection and everyday routines
  • Oral Placement Therapy to strengthen the muscles needed for clear speech
  • TalkTools®-trained to support oral-motor and sensory needs

Feeding Therapy

  • Helps toddlers with picky eating, gagging, or difficulty chewing
  • Builds oral motor strength, sensory tolerance, and confident eating

Myofunctional & Breathing Support

  • Addresses early signs of oral dysfunction: open-mouth posture, low tongue tone, sleep concerns
  • While formal breathing methods like Buteyko aren’t suited for toddlers, we apply knowledge from the field to support nasal breathing and healthy oral habits early on

Did you know effective early intervention requires specialized training?

At The Speech Studio, we have the expertise—and the heart—to help your child thrive.

The Speech Studio has taught me so many helpful strategies from the Hanen It Takes Two to Talk program that I can easily use throughout the day—whether we’re getting dressed, eating dinner, or just playing.

At first, I thought speech therapy would be drill-based and kind of boring, but it’s actually the opposite. It’s fun, engaging, and fits right into our daily routine. As a busy parent, I really appreciate that I don’t have to carve out extra time—we’re supporting my child’s speech while just living life.

As a busy, single mother, I’m so grateful for the support and guidance we’ve received. It’s made a huge difference for both of us!”

FAQs

Q: How do I know if my child needs early intervention?

A: If your child isn’t meeting speech, feeding, or developmental milestones—or you’re just not sure—it’s always okay to ask. You don’t need a referral to reach out. Trust your gut—early support can only help.

Q: Is it too early to start therapy at 1 or 2 years old?

A: Not at all! Ages 1–4 are  critical years for brain, speech, and motor development. Starting early gives your child the strongest possible foundation.

Q: What if my child is just a “late talker”?

A: Some kids do catch up, but many late talkers need targeted support. We look beyond the words and into what might be holding your child back—like oral motor skills, muscle tone, or coordination.

Q: Do you work with kids who have multiple needs?

A:  Yes! That’s our specialty. Whether it’s speech, feeding, breathing, or all three, we create a coordinated plan that supports your child as a  whole person.

Q: How are your therapists trained?

A: Our team has specialized training in early childhood speech-language therapy, feeding therapy, oral-motor therapy (including TalkTools®), and early myofunctional support. We stay current with the latest evidence-based practices.

Q: What will therapy look like for my toddler?

A: Therapy is play-based, parent-friendly, and tailored to your child’s unique needs. We incorporate movement, routines, and real-life moments to help your child grow in a way that feels natural.

Q: Do you include parents in the process?

A: Absolutely. You are the expert on your child! We partner with you, share strategies, and make sure you feel supported every step of the way.
