Speech Therapy at Irby Psychological Services

About this service

Communication is how children share who they are with the world. We help them find their voice — whether that means spoken words, gestures, AAC, or simply new ways to connect with the people they love.

Our speech therapists serve children across a wide range of needs, specializing in receptive and expressive language disorders, childhood apraxia of speech, and persistent sound disorders. Therapy is individualized, play-based, and paired with family coaching that carries progress well beyond the therapy room.

Every child deserves a voice — and the tools to use it.

Areas we specialize in

Receptive & Expressive Language Disorders

An expressive language disorder means a child struggles to get their meaning or messages across to others. A receptive language disorder means they struggle to understand and process messages they receive. Our therapists address both.

Autism Spectrum Disorder

Some children with ASD may not communicate using speech or language and would benefit from speech therapy — including augmentative and alternative communication strategies.

Childhood Apraxia of Speech

A speech disorder in which a child's brain has difficulty coordinating the complex oral movements needed to create sounds into syllables, syllables into words, and words into phrases. Therapy is individualized to each child's specific motor speech needs.

Persistent Sound Disorders

Speech sounds that don't improve after months or years of traditional therapy. There are different types of therapy that can help — and every program is tailored to the individual's specific speech sound or articulation disorder.
