Philosophy

Our Philosophy

Smiling Star Speech & Language was created to help children live more joyful and stress-free childhoods through the power of communication. A child’s eyes and expressions alone can tell us volumes about what they’re thinking and how they’re feeling. As much as that can warm the hard of any parent, imagine the power of a child who can express those feeling and thoughts into words. Smiling Star Speech & Language helps children develop, and in some cases restore, their speech and language skills so they can effectively communicate with their family and friends.

Approach to therapy includes:

• We believe in quality over quantity. Its not about how many clients we can rotate through our doors. Its about how we can deliver the most personalized experience and individualized therapy that serves to meet the specific needs of your child and family.

• Understanding that your child is an individual not to be defined by a disorder, but recognized for his/her own personal strengths. We work with those strengths to minimize the differences and maximize progress. This understanding comes from keeping our knowledge and skills current with ongoing continuing education opportunities and training for our therapists.

• Parent education and development of home programs to reinforce and accelerate your child’s progress.

• Collaboration with other therapists and specialists involved in your child’s care to foster team-based care and continuity for your child.

• A friendly and fun environment that is child and family focused.
