Speech and Language Services
Thoughtfully designed services that meet your child where they are and move them forward with clarity, intention, and measurable growth.
Our Approach to Therapy
Harbor Speech Co. provides personalized telehealth speech-language services for school-age children and teens. Each service is structured, relationship-based, and tailored to support real-world communication… not just isolated skills.
We believe communication therapy should:
Be structured but flexible
Build independence, not dependence
Support families, not overwhelm them
Focus on skills that matter in real life
Individual Speech-Language Therapy
Personalized, one-on-one therapy designed to build communication skills that carry over into daily life.
Individual therapy is ideal for children and teens who benefit from focused, individualized support in areas such as:
Speech sound clarity
Expressive and receptive language
Higher-level language skills
Social communication
Executive functioning related to communication
Sessions are engaging, developmentally appropriate, and strategically designed to support progress beyond the screen.
How We Begin:
All new clients begin with a 60-minute Initial Assessment Session. This visit allows us to understand your child’s communication profile, review any previous evaluations or IEPs, and develop a therapy plan tailored to their current needs.
Following the session, families receive a written summary outlining strengths, recommended goals, and next steps.
Comprehensive speech-language evaluations are recommended only when additional diagnostic clarification or formal documentation is required.
Parent Consultation
Focused, time-limited guidance designed to provide clarity and confident next steps.
Parent consultations are caregiver-only educational sessions for families who want professional direction without immediately committing to ongoing therapy.
Consultations may be helpful if you:
Feel unsure whether therapy is needed
Want help understanding school reports or IEPs
Need practical communication strategies for home
Are transitioning between services
Have a teen who resists therapy but still needs support
Prior to the session, caregivers complete a brief intake form outlining current concerns. During the consultation, we clarify your child’s communication profile and develop 3-5 actionable recommendations.
Parent consultations are educational and consultative in nature. They do not involve direct therapy with the child, formal diagnosis, legal advocacy, or mental health counseling.
Many families find that a single consultation provides meaningful clarity and immediate direction.
Social Communication Groups
Structured, small-group programs designed to teach real-world communication skills in a supported peer environment.
Unlike unstructured social time, skills are explicitly taught, modeled, practiced, and reinforced in carefully designed sessions.
All groups:
Run for 8 weeks
Maintain small enrollment for individualized attention
Require a screening consultation prior to placement
Seasonal Offering: Summer Communication Intensive
Maintain Momentum. Return to School Stronger.
The Summer Communication Intensive is a curated, short-term telehealth program designed to preserve and strengthen communication growth during the school break.
Extended breaks can make it more difficult for children to retain newly developed speech and language skills. The Summer Communication Intensive provides focused, engaging sessions so your child returns to school confident, prepared, and ready to use what they’ve learned.
-
Sessions target practical, real-world communication such as:
Clear and confident speech production
Conversation depth and flexibility
Social communication carryover
Higher-level language application
Independent use of newly developed skills
Activities are engaging and developmentally appropriate while maintaining clinical rigor. Each session is designed to build momentum rather than simply maintain status quo.
-
The Summer Communication Intensive is appropriate for:
Current Harbor Speech Co. clients who wish to maintain continuity of services, but want increased flexibility in scheduling
New students seeking structured summer support
Families who prefer a short-term, focused format
Ideal for families who value intentional support without committing to a full academic-year schedule.
-
Participation may:
Prevent regression of newly developed skills
Strengthen communication confidence prior to the new school year
Provide individualized attention outside of school-based group settings
Support smoother transition into fall academic demands
Offer families practical carryover guidance
Students who complete a summer package receive priority consideration for fall scheduling before general enrollment opens.
-
The Summer Communication Intensive runs from June 1 through August 28.
Families enroll in a curated session package:
6-session package
8-session package
Rather than reserving a fixed weekly appointment, sessions are scheduled strategically within the program window to accommodate summer travel and shifting routines.
To maintain organization and availability, families reserve session times for the upcoming month by the final day of the previous month.
Standard session rates apply.
Enrollment is limited to maintain Harbor Speech Co.’s boutique caseload model.
If your child has not completed a speech-language evaluation or received updated IEP documentation within the past year, we will begin with a one-time Initial Assessment Session prior to scheduling Summer Communication Intensive visits. This ensures that goals are individualized, clinically appropriate, and aligned with your child’s current communication profile.
