Our Services

  • Assessment of speech and language skills is done using a combination of parent/caretaker/client/team member interviews, standardized/criterion-referenced evaluation tools and informal assessments/observations.

  • Our speech and language therapy services are designed for convenience, with in-home sessions proving not only more practical for families but also more effective.

    Research suggests that therapy in natural environments yields better results than clinical settings. Sessions are personalized to meet the client's specific needs.

  • Is your child facing communication challenges at school? Word of Mouth Speech Therapy collaborates with schools and various disciplines to comprehend your child's communication needs both at home and in academic settings. By consulting with school teams, we ensure the transfer of learned skills to enhance communication at home, school, and beyond.

  • The special education journey can be an emotional and uncertain time for parents. Advocacy and support services provided through Word of Mouth Speech Therapy aim to assist families through this process. We are available to act as a supportive alliance to families, whether you are just beginning to navigate the special education process within the school setting, or already have an active IEP. Let us help bridge the gap between home and school-based services and supports.

  • "Gina has an incredible connection with kids and was able to encourage our 4 and 6 year old to love her speech classes. She is a creative genius, using fun craft projects with the sounds to make learning fun and engaging. We have worked with other speech therapists and it was always a struggle to get the kids to their appointments. With Gina the kids are always excited and progress rapidly."

  • “Gina is a wonderful resource for parents, particularly in the area of language acquisition. She has led classes for us that focus on speech and language development, and our parents always walk away with easy to implement every day strategies to increase language skills at home. Gina has a wonderful way about her that makes parents feel heard and valued, and her approach minimizes the stress that many parents may feel when their kids aren't hitting speech milestones. I would highly recommend Gina to any parents looking for support for their child's speech and language needs.”
