Our Therapy Approach
Speech therapists at Mighty Kids Therapy are skilled at designing sessions to be playful, fun, and effective! We use the latest evidence and a therapeutic play model to make sure that your child reaches their goals, all while building connections and having fun. We also encourage caregivers to be involved in the therapy process to help new skills continue to grow outside of the clinic. Parents, family members, and guardians are always welcome to join in on sessions to see what we are doing and learn communication and feeding strategies to implement at home with confidence.
