Our Mission:

We believe that each child is an individual with strengths and needs.

We provide solutions that work for children and their families.

Our Vision:

All people are fully expressed and heard as a gift to their own life

and as a possibility in their community.

Our Philosophy

Every child is fundamentally unique. By using what we learn about who that child is, how they learn, and what they love, we can help accomplish their communication goals while modeling techniques for parents and caregivers to continue using at home. Children expand their imaginative, social, language, and intellectual skills through play, exploration, nature experiences, and story-telling. By working with parents along with the child, our therapists are able to give families tools to increase communication outside of the office. This accelerates the process of overcoming speech difficulties while building parent knowledge of how they can impact their child's communication and development.

We hope this website answers your questions regarding the care we provide. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us.

What's New?

Welcome back to in-person service! 

We are currently providing both in-person and teletherapy. At this time all in-person services are provided masked. This presents certain difficulties, some of which can be overcome with a window mask and outdoor, unmasked treatments.  The therapists will be able to advise you on whether in-person or tele therapy will be more effective during this time for your child. We are currently taking other precautions for our in-person sessions including limiting the number of family members present, closing our waiting room, using exterior entrances, enhanced cleaning, and staggered appointments. 

Along with our regular, in-person services we are now also providing teletherapy. For some children, virtual treatment will not be practical or effective. The decision will be made on a case by case basis in consultation with the therapist and parents. We are very proud to say that in 2020 all of our therapists took continuing education in the area of virtual treatment and expanded and refined their knowledge in that area. 

Even with our recent addition, we are committed to growth. Speech Center will bring on another excellent SLP soon. SLPs, please call us! 

We are now interviewing to hire excellent CCC-SLPs for a part-time to full-time position. Our commitment is providing result producing, compassionate therapy, empowering parents and family, and providing excellent clinical evaluations. Please contact our office manager, Olivia, to set up a phone conversation and interview with Diane Hansen. Send your resume via fax or email.
