Our belief is that children need effective communication skills as a foundation for the successful participation in activities at home, school, and in the community. We strive to build these critical skills so that children are prepared to fully participate in the world in which they live.

Our goal is to give children with potential or existing challenges the best opportunities to maximize their success. With enough successful opportunities to practice these evolving skills, we believe children and adults can make fundamental changes in their self-image, confidence, and ability to relate to others.

Are Socializing and Speech Difficulties causing your child frustration?

Our 6-12 year old groups combine fun and interactive activities with opportunities to improve social skills in a safe environment. These groups are designed to teach and encourage grade school children to socially interact with peers in one-on-one and group situations. Instruction with practice in these areas will aide in self esteem-building. As a team approach is our goal at Socially Speaking, school observation and consultation are always available.
