Evaluations
We’ll start by getting a full picture of your child’s skills and needs. Depending on your child’s age and stage, assessments may be play-based or more formal and always include an observation at home or in preschool.
Once we understand your child’s strengths and pinpoint areas for growth, we will work with your family to create a personalized therapy plan.
Our Unique Approach
At Homegrown Speech Therapy, we believe a child’s success is cultivated at home. That’s why we bring speech, language, and feeding therapy into your child’s real life, at home or daycare.
Our philosophy is simple: parents and caregivers are at the heart of progress. Real progress happens when you feel confident supporting your child’s growth at home.
Speech Therapy for Late Talkers
Toddlers learn best through play and everyday interactions, so our therapy sessions fit right into your normal life! We will partner with you to deliver early intervention services that will help your child:
Build joint attention and imitation skills
Understand and use words
Reduce frustration by expressing wants and needs

Feeding Therapy for Picky Eaters & Swallowing Disorders

Your child’s feeding therapist will create a safe space for your child to explore new foods, improve their oral motor skills, and feel more comfortable with mealtime routines.
