What is Speech Therapy, and how does it work?
Creative, engaging, and life-changing
Speech Therapy, also known as Speech-Language Pathology, focuses on helping individuals of all ages who experience communication, eating, drinking, voice, fluency, cognition, and swallowing challenges. As an evidence-based approach, exercises and strategies are extensively utilized and customized to the individual’s needs to improve their overall quality of life and participation in social, academic, and professional settings.

Fluency – stuttering or cluttering,
Voice – hoarseness or vocal nodules, unusual vocal production/sound, puberphonia, aphonia, vocal fold paralysis, coal chord spasm, psychogenic voice disorders, and vocal hygiene for public speaking, cheer, coaching, etc.
Resonance — hyper or hyponasal speech
Pragmatic language — navigating social interactions with peers and adults ( social skills, communicating emotions, self-regulation, selective mutism)
Executive function – planning, organization, attention, time management, task initiation, self-regulation, flexibility, perseverance, self-control, metacognition (thinking about thinking), working memory
Swallow and orofacial myology - The treatment of swallowing disorders prevents aspiration pneumonia, gagging, and increases the tolerance for variation of food textures. Tongue Thrust therapy helps dentition alignment and proper tongue placement during rest and swallowing

Our strategies are designed for real-world interactions, settings, and situations — school, work, relationships, social circles, and more.

We celebrate their progress, no matter how small, and encourage them to reach their full potential. By setting individualized goals and utilizing evidence-based practices, we ensure everyone receives the personalized care they deserve.

Our Approach
We offer in-clinic sessions supported by dedicated therapists who are highly trained and up-to-date with the latest evidence-based practices in therapeutic care.
Initial evaluation
- We conduct an initial evaluation to assess the individual’s strengths, challenges, and specific goals. This assessment involves a series of formal and informal measures to gather information about medical history, current abilities, and limitations.
Treatment plan
- Goals are established based on the evaluation and individual/parent or guardian interviews. Once a plan is outlined, the interventions and strategies will be customized to the individual’s needs. It may include therapeutic activities, exercises, sensory integration techniques, emotional regulation, cognitive training, and more.
Progress monitoring & adjustments
- Speech-language pathologists continually evaluate the individual’s progress to determine the effectiveness of interventions and ensure meaningful gains in achieving goals.
Collaboration
- Effective communication with other healthcare professionals, educators, caregivers, and family members is critical to delivering the best possible care. If required, we ensure support and guidance to those most involved in the individual’s life.
Transition Planning
- As an individual approaches goal mastery, the frequency of services may be reduced. The ultimate goal is independence. We support this transition on an individual basis, slowly weaning the individual out of services and into independence. The Speech-language pathologist assists in this transition and provides recommendations for maintaining progress.

“We love Breaking Barriers therapy. We have been through multiple speech therapists over the past three years and none have measured up in the same way. Britney and Nicole have worked with our son for the last few months and we have seen great progress in our son’s ability to communicate. Furthermore, we can easily see that they both value our son and are so encouraging to him. Our son enjoys speech therapy and we are so happy that Breaking Barriers can provide the therapy that he needs.”
Jessica N.
“We looked at several places and read a lot of reviews, trying to find the perfect place to help our son with his speech impediments. We ultimately decided to go with Breaking Barriers, and I am so grateful we did. They truly care about the kids.”
