Venture Speech was established to partner with local families and educators who desire to support their children's communication success in all of life's ventures. Communication goals are FUNctional and address the communication skills and settings that are meaningful to your child. 

As a neurodivergent individual myself, I take pride in understanding and honoring the way ALL brains process and interact with the world. I provide strength-based, neurodiversity affirming treatment. I prioritize your child's mental health, safety, confidence, self advocacy skills, and emotional language skills. All emotions are welcome here. My therapy approach is child-led and play based, following your child's interests. I use a total communication approach, which respects all forms of communication. I encourage your child to recognize how they listen and learn best (sitting, standing, fidgeting, etc.). 

We often use movement 🤸🏽‍♀️  as a tool for optimizing engagement and attention such as strolling on a nature trail🍂, splashing in the water 🏊, kicking a ball ⚽, climbing 🧗‍♀️, or making up a dance🕺, etc. Improved attention and engagement leads to quicker learning and retention. These skills combined with self awareness skills are necessary for mastering speech goals across all environments. At Venture Speech, your child has the opportunity to connect, improve self advocacy, build self awareness, and practice communication skills across multiple environments.

Finding confidence and success in your communication is crucial because communication happens everywhere! - at school, home, practice, clubs, the community, or even on a mountain top🏔️. I desire to work with your child to practice skills necessary for the settings and activities that your family loves and spends the most time doing. I will use your child's strengths and passions to help build a goal plan that moves them to being their best communicator and allows them to better access their daily ventures.

Thank you for taking the time to read and learn about Venture Speech. I hope that our paths cross soon! 🌲
