Helping Children Build Strong Communication Skills for Life
Pediatric speech and language therapy
Every child deserves the confidence that comes from being understood. At PediaSpeech, we provide personalized pediatric speech therapy in Atlanta designed to help children improve communication, strengthen language development, and reach important milestones through engaging, evidence-based therapy.
Because every child learns differently, therapy is tailored to your child’s unique strengths, personality, and goals while giving parents practical strategies to continue progress at home. We offer both in-person and virtual speech and language therapy for kids.
What Is Pediatric Speech Therapy?
Communication is one of the most important skills a child develops. At PediaSpeech, our pediatric speech therapy services help children build the confidence and communication skills they need to succeed at home, in school, and in everyday life. Through individualized, evidence-based therapy, we support children with speech sound disorders, language delays, childhood apraxia of speech, fluency disorders, and other communication challenges.
Your child may benefit from a speech evaluation if they:
Are difficult for others to understand
Have trouble producing certain sounds
Continue to use speech sound patterns that are not expected for their age
Have a limited vocabulary or difficulty expressing thoughts
Struggle to understand or follow directions
Repeat sounds, words, or phrases when speaking
Stutter or have difficulty speaking smoothly
Have difficulty planning or coordinating the movements needed for speech
Become frustrated when trying to communicate
Have difficulty participating in conversations or social interactions
If you’re concerned about your child’s speech or communication development, you don’t have to wait to seek help. A comprehensive evaluation can help identify your child’s strengths and determine whether speech therapy may be beneficial.
Our Approach to Speech & Language Therapy
At PediaSpeech, we believe effective speech therapy begins with understanding the whole child. Our therapists conduct comprehensive evaluations to identify each child’s unique strengths and areas of need before developing an individualized treatment plan.
Therapy may incorporate play-based activities, visual and tactile cues, motor-based techniques, and other evidence-based approaches selected specifically for each child. We also believe that parents are an important part of the therapy process, so we provide families with practical strategies they can use to support communication skills at home.
Articulation & Phonological processes
An articulation disorder involves difficulty with the physical, motor process of producing one or more specific sounds correctly.
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) refers to any tool or system that supports or replaces spoken communication — from picture-based systems to dedicated speech-generating devices and tablet apps.
Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS)
Apraxia of Speech (AOS) is a motor speech disorder that makes it difficult for the brain to plan and coordinate the movements needed for clear speech.
gestalt language processing
Gestalt language processors often communicate through echolalia — repeating whole phrases, sentences, or scripts they’ve heard before, whether immediately or after a delay.
Orton-Gillingham
Orton-Gillingham is a direct, explicit, and multisensory approach to teaching reading, writing, and spelling.
Tongue Thrust/Myofunctional Therapy
Orofacial myofunctional disorders affect the orofacial muscle complex, including the mouth, tongue, lips, and facial musculature.
Visualizing & Verbalizing
At PediaSpeech, we use Lindamood-Bell’s Talkies and Visualizing and Verbalizing® (V/V) programs to help children develop clear, organized expressive language.
