Our mission— speaking out against the status quo in order for our most vulnerable and marginalized individuals to be heard!

We regard language as the underlying thread of all learning and human connectedness.

On November 1, 2023, the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA) issued new developmental milestones in the areas of communication (hearing, speech, and language) and feeding and swallowing for children ages birth to 5 years.

These milestones were used to support the CDC’s “Learn the Signs and Act Early” Initiatives. Click the links for more information.

Family Centered Practice

The foundation of our programming is the recognition that a child’s family plays an invaluable role in the therapeutic journey.

The term “family” broadly defines all caregivers who regularly have the opportunity to engage with your child.

We approach our families openly, seeking better understanding of their unique cultural beliefs, values, and perspectives.

We appreciate the ever-changing dynamics of each. We encourage ongoing curiosity, problem-solving, and shared decision-making in developing our Plan of Care

Professional Development

Speak Out Services provides tailored, professional learning and/or collaborative coaching opportunities for districts, individual schools, or specific teams focused on communication science and disorders to support general and special education initiatives. Your team will grow the core understanding that communication is the foundation of all learning —

Children develop life-long-learning skills when their communication needs are supported by all adults.

Is your team is looking for the opportunity to embed research-driven, therapeutic models and strategies? Whether you’re a general or special educator, family member of a child on an IEP, we look forward to supporting you.
