Evaluations
Before we begin therapy, a phone consultation with the parent/guardian will take place to discuss any communication concerns they have about their child.
If an evaluation is warranted, we will assess your child through observation and standardized testing to understand their strengths and areas of need. Based on the results, we’ll collaborate with your family to set meaningful goals and determine the best therapy approach for your child.
Our Therapy Approach
At Speech By Madison, we believe that speech therapy should be engaging, individualized, and family-centered. Our approach focuses on building on your child’s strengths while making learning fun and meaningful. By incorporating play and evidence-based strategies, we help children develop communication skills in a natural and supportive way.
We strive empower caregivers with practical tools to support progress beyond therapy sessions, ensuring lasting growth.
Articulation Therapy
phonetic placement • drill practice • oral motor skills
Articulation therapy focuses on helping children produce sounds correctly and improve speech clarity. At Speech by Madison, we work on a variety of engaging techniques to correct sound errors and teach the proper placement of the tongue, lips, and teeth. By using repetition, visual cues, and real-life practice, children gain confidence in their ability to communicate clearly.
Our goal is to make learning fun and play based, while ensuring long-lasting improvements in speech.
Language Therapy

Language therapy helps children develop the skills they need to understand and use language effectively. Whether it’s expanding vocabulary, improving sentence structure, or enhancing social communication, we focus on building a strong foundation for clear and meaningful communication.
Through fun, interactive activities, we support your child in making connections between words, ideas, and their world, empowering them to express themselves confidently.
Social skills
play skills • improving peer interactions • self regulation
Social skills therapy helps children develop the ability to interact confidently and appropriately with others. We focus on key areas such as turn-taking, understanding social cues, making eye contact, and improving conversational skills. Through role-playing, real-life scenarios, and structured activities, we help children build positive relationships and navigate social situations with ease.
Our goal is to empower your child to communicate effectively, connect with peers, and feel confident in social environments.
