Is this traditional Speech Therapy?
No. Traditional Speech Therapy services are typically defined as treatment to improve a person’s ability to communicate AFTER a delay or disorder is suspected or identified. Little Words Studio focuses on empowering parents with practical, research-informed strategies they can use during everyday interactions. Our goal is to help you build a strong foundation for your child’s communication from the start, with the knowledge, training, and background in speech pathology that we bring to parent coaching.
What does a language development coach do?
A language development coach partners with parents to support their child’s communication through everyday interactions. They share practical strategies for play, reading, and daily routines, helping parents build on their child’s strengths and feel confident nurturing language from the start.
Is it too early to ask about my child’s language?
It is never too early to ask a question. We can talk about what you notice in your child’s gestures, play, sounds, and words, then consider ways you can support communication at home.
Does every child develop at the same pace?
Children grow at different rates. Parent coaching can help you understand general communication development and what you notice in your child. If you have a specific concern, a formal evaluation may be an appropriate next step.
Is this direct therapy for my child?
Little Words Studio focuses on coaching parents and caregivers. We talk through your questions and help you use communication strategies in everyday interactions. If you are looking for direct therapy, we can discuss appropriate next steps.
What if my child needs a formal evaluation?
We can discuss your concern and help you think through possible next steps.
How can I support language at home?
We can explore ideas tailored to your routines, such as following your child’s interests in play, pausing for a response, reading together, and making room for back-and-forth interaction.
Do you accept insurance?
Little Words Studio does not accept insurance. Services are self-pay. Contact us to learn more about service options and fees.
How are services provided?
Little Words Studio offers parent coaching through secure virtual appointments. From the comfort of your home, you can meet with a licensed and certified speech-language pathologist to discuss your child’s communication and learn practical strategies for everyday routines, avoiding the commute and eliminating lobby-waiting to allow you more time to implement the strategies you learn with your little one!
