Where We Nurture From Play to Speech

At More Than Speech, our name says it all. We’re about more than just words. We’re about building relationships, supporting families, and helping children grow in a way that feels natural, joyful, and empowering.

We believe that play is not just a part of therapy, it’s the foundation. It's where trust begins, confidence is built, and communication starts to take shape. Through every silly game, shared giggle, and imaginative adventure, we’re nurturing something deeper: a child’s ability to connect with the world.

🧠 Why Play Is the Starting Point

When children play, they are learning on every level. They’re exploring emotions, testing out social roles, experimenting with language, and solving problems in real time. Play gives us a window into a child’s world and it gives them a safe space to explore it.

In our clinic, therapy rarely looks like a worksheet. It looks like climbing, laughing, building, pretending, and creating. And that’s exactly the point. We meet each child where they are, and we follow their lead toward growth.

🗣️ Where Play Becomes Speech

As trust builds, so do the words. From pointing and babbling to full sentences and conversations, we nurture every step of the communication journey. Our therapists don’t just target goals, they connect with kids in ways that make learning feel exciting and safe.

We believe speech therapy should never feel forced. When a child is engaged, encouraged, and having fun, communication starts to flow more naturally and more confidently.

💛 A Safe Place to Grow

More Than Speech is a space where children feel seen, heard, and celebrated for exactly who they are. Our therapists work from a relationship-first, child-centered approach that considers the whole child, not just their speech or sensory profile.

Whether we’re helping with early language, feeding challenges, or social skills, our goal remains the same: to nurture progress through connection, not pressure.

🌱 From Play to Progress

Every child’s journey is unique, and every win, no matter how small, is worth celebrating. From the first gesture to the first word to full-on storytelling, we’re here for it all.

Because when we nurture through play, we’re not just building speech. We’re building confidence, trust, independence, and a love of learning that lasts.
