The TALK Team: Creating communication for all children
The TALK Team: creating communication for all children... opened in 2006, The TALK Team focuses on the whole child and all areas of communication!
We are certified and licensed speech language pathologists and behavior analysts with over 20 years of collective experience. We currently offer individual therapy sessions focusing on language development, early intervention, feeding, oral placement and apraxia, articulation, language and literacy, fluency/stuttering, and behavior management. We incorporate movement, physical play, multisensory input, and hands-on activities into speech and language development. We utilize a variety of research based methods and behavioral strategies in each individualized session. Our main goal in therapy is that our clients learn while having fun! We are also available for consultation, IEP support and review, contract school services, parent education, and professional development training.

At TALK, we love turning Halloween fun into learning!
During speech sessions, we practice trick-or-treating using all kinds of communication - gestures, signs, pictures, single-message buttons, high-tech AAC, and verbal speech. It’s a playful way to help every child learn how to participate, make choices, and connect with others on Halloween night.
Because at TALK, every “Trick or Treat!” deserves to be heard!

Let’s taco ‘bout our two of our favorite things — tacos and AAC! 🌮 💬
Both get their moment to shine in October, and we couldn’t be happier. Because when it comes to communication (and tacos), there’s always room for more.
If you’re celebrating National Taco Day the AAC way, what words would you target?
⬇️ Drop your favorite AAC taco messages below — we’re hungry to hear them!

October is AAC Awareness Month, a time to celebrate all the ways individuals communicate and connect. AAC, or Augmentative and Alternative Communication, includes tools like communication boards, devices, gestures, and visuals that support language for those who need another way to express themselves. When we model AAC, we’re not just teaching symbols, we’re showing our belief in every communicator’s voice, potential, and autonomy.

Amber and Amy started The TALK Team to allow for the growth and potential of ourselves as therapists and our clients as communicators. We are dually certified as speech language pathologists and board certified behavior analysts. The blend of these two approaches has taught us a variety of ways to teach a vast amount of skills. We have had the opportunity to train 9 AMAZING therapists with the techniques that we have learned over the last 20 years along with the highly individualized skills that each has brought to TALK.
We have learned the value not only of communication itself, but thinking outside of the box to create a comprehensive, play based approach that is individualized for each child that we meet. We hold paramount that the more fun we have, the more fun our clients will have, and the more successful they will become. So let’s learn to have more fun!!
This is a place where you will find ideas and inspiration. We firmly believe that every child can communicate and flourish, when provided with the right environment. We believe that parents are their child’s first and most important teacher and we are dedicated to providing tools and ideas to help you along your journey. Every child has the capability to learn and grow and become a functional communicator! Communication is what allows us to access our environment. It is the most important skill that a child can learn. Without communication, all other skills become less functional. Children may have a ton of information and ideas but if they can’t express them, they are left untouched.
We currently offer individual therapy sessions focusing on language development, early intervention, feeding, oral placement and apraxia, articulation, language and literacy, fluency/stuttering, and behavior management.
