Evaluations
A speech therapy evaluation is a process used by speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to assess an individual's speech and language abilities. The evaluation typically consists of a series of assessments and observations to determine the individual's strengths and areas of need.
Speech & Language Therapy
We offer engaging and play-based individual therapy sessions that are designed to meet the unique needs of young children. Through interactive and developmentally appropriate activities, we create a nurturing environment that fosters growth and progress.
Bilingual Evaluations & Therapy
Evaluations are conducted to distinguish between language difference vs language disorders in bilingual clients.
​
Bilingual speech therapy is specialized speech therapy designed for individuals who speak more than one language and may experience language delays or disorders in their languages.
Consultation Services
Parent coaching is a flexible and family-focused approach that enhances a child's communication skills. It streamlines goals, offers convenience in delivery, and equips parents and caregivers with the knowledge and tools they need to support their child's speech and language development effectively.
This is particularly beneficial when anticipating school-based therapy, managing waitlist placement, or exploring options to minimize private therapy expenses.
Spanish Social Groups
Our non-therapy program focuses on fostering linguistic, cognitive, social, and social emotional skills. Through interactive activities like games, songs, stories, and crafts.

Meet Lupe
Founder, Speech-Language Pathologist
I am a licensed speech-language pathologist, with experience treating the pediatric population with various speech and language difficulties. My years of experience working with children who have articulation difficulties, autism, play and communication issues, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices, and bilingual kids (American Sign Language and Spanish) inform my mindful holistic approach to therapy. After working with children in teletherapy and at a local preschool, I founded Speak Through Play to continue to specialize in serving the 7 months to 5 population.
