Venture Speech collaborates with families and educators who are eager to enhance their kid's communication skills for success in all of life's adventures. Owner and SLP, Taylor provides speech therapy services at the speech office in Golden, Colorado, at partnered nature schools, and at contracted local public schools.

As a neurodivergent individual, Taylor takes pride in recognizing and respecting the diverse ways in which all brains process and engage with the world. Taylor uses a strength-based, movement-based, play-based, nature-based, and neuro-affirming treatment approach. Taylor prioritizes your child's safety and emotional regulation. Speech therapy is tailored towards your child's interests. A total communication approach is used which values all forms of expression such as spoken language, gestures, and/or the use of an AAC device. Taylor encourages your child to build self awareness and self advocacy skills to discover their preferred ways of listening and learning.

Movement is incorporated into speech sessions as a means to enhance engagement and focus. This could look like spending time outside, splashing in water, kicking a ball, climbing, or creating a dance. Improving engagement and self awareness facilitates connections that are crucial for generalization of speech skills across multiple environments. At Venture Speech, your child can connect, engage, build self-awareness, and practice communication skills in various contexts.

Building confidence and finding communication success is vital, as we communicate all day at home, school, practice, clubs, in the community, or even on a mountaintop! I look forward to partnering with your family to develop communication goals tailored to the activities and environments your family is passionate about. Together, we will leverage your child's strengths and passions to create a goal plan that empowers them to become their best communicator to better navigate their daily adventures.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about Venture Speech. I hope to connect soon! 🌲
