Our Mission:

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

We provide solutions that work for children and their families.

We help each child in our clinic find their unique voice to express themselves.

We provide high quality, expert speech and language services.

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, and storytelling.

By working with parents along with the child, our therapists are able to give families tools to increase communication outside of therapy. 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.

Diane’s retirement

After 35 years of practice in Southern Arizona and 43 years of providing speech therapy services, our founder, Diane Hansen, MA, CCC-SLP, has retired. Though Diane stepped away from patient treatment in 2025, she continues to be our inspiration, guiding star, and consultant. While Diane misses her families and working with clients daily she is enjoying more time with her family, traveling, and working in her garden! We are so grateful for all her years of service and for the hundreds of families she has impacted over her years of work. Since its founding 33 years ago, we continue to uphold Diane’s clinical values,ethics, and high standards.
