Our Services

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Is your child having trouble communicating at school? Word of Mouth Speech Therapy works with schools and other professionals to understand your child's communication needs at home and school. We partner with school teams to help your child use their skills everywhere.

  • The special education process can be hard and confusing for parents. Word of Mouth Speech Therapy offers support to help families through this time. We are here to guide you, whether you're just starting with special education or already have an IEP. Let us help connect home and school services to better support your child.

    (Client Parent)

  • "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."

    (Client Parent)

  • “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.”
