🌟October Speech Star🌟

Emily is SO excited when it is her turn to attend speech therapy, and enjoys participating in a variety of play-based materials, including: coloring/painting, board games, sensory bins, and puzzles.

This client is kind, helpful, and typically says ‘thank you for seeing me!’ at the end of each session. Emily works hard and has been making steady gains with a variety of target speech sounds, to include, ‘l’, ‘sh’, and s-clusters.

I am excited to watch this kiddo continue to shine!

Hi, I’m Kelly! 👋🏻

Introducing myself for those of you who may be new here— I am a Speech-Language Pathologist and co-owner of Blackwell Speech Therapy. I obtained a Master of Arts degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the University of Maine in 2012, and hold a Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) from ASHA, which is a nationally recognized professional credential, and represents a level of excellence in the field of Speech-Language Pathology (CCC-SLP). In 2022, my husband, Joel, and I began our company, Blackwell Speech Therapy, which has been a dream come true.✨

Each year, to maintain my license and CCC, I complete continuing education courses in topics relevant to speech-language. Examples of recently completed trainings include the following: Complexity Theory/Approach for children with severe phonological disorders, Play-Based Learning, Motor Learning Principles, and Early Literacy Intervention.

Our schedules are full and waiting lists closed; however, returning to educational settings, collaborating with educators, and continuing work with current students has been a joy this fall!

I am looking forward to another year of communication, play, and growth.

Please reach out with any questions!☺️

🌟July Speech Star🌟

I said ‘see you later’ to this very special friend and her family today, as I transition this fall to providing services full-time in the educational setting.

Lauren is pure joy. She is excited to attend sessions and loves participating in play-based activities, including: painting, play-doh, board games, and kinetic sand. We have targeted l-blends, motor planning of functional words/phrases/sentences, and use of grammatical structures.

I will miss her dearly, and our many chats about her favorite ice cream, Taylor Swift, her baby cousins, dance recitals, and her dog, Gidget.

See you later, Lauren— thankful that I was fortunate enough to be a member of your team. I can’t wait to hear about how bright you continue to shine!

Weston began speech therapy in March, and is making steady gains in the awareness/accuracy of speech sound targets! This client has consistently worked hard to begin producing ‘sh’, ‘ch’, and ‘r’ without distortion. Weston is excited to attend weekly sessions, and enjoys participating in various play-based activities, including: board games, coloring/painting, iPad, and sensory bins. Weston is kind, funny, hard working, and a great problem-solver.

I consider myself lucky to be working with this awesome kiddo. Proud of you, Weston! 👏🏼🗣️🫶🏼

🎓Graduation Day!🎓

Ethan has been receiving monthly consultation services following discharge from regular, weekly sessions, in order to address continued concerns with specific speech sounds.

This kiddo has attended each session with enthusiasm, kindness, and humor! Ethan has worked hard, and is now producing ‘r’ and ‘th’ sounds consistently during conversational speech.

I am going to miss seeing this client— he is a JOY! Very proud of you, Ethan! 🌟
