Word Play Speech Therapy
Word Play Speech Therapy
Word Play Speech Therapy is a private therapy company serving St. Charles county, the greater St. Louis area and virtually throughout Missouri.
We offer child-led, play-based speech and language services for children of all neurotypes.
Word Play Speech Therapy specializes in speech sound disorders including apraxia and phonological delay, late talkers, expressive and receptive language delay, gestalt language processing, alternative/augmentative communication (AAC) and stuttering.
We believe in the power of collaboration in order to carry over skills from therapy into a child's everyday life.
"Working with Ms. Ali has been nothing short of life changing for my son. My son went from being able to make just a few sounds to talking non-stop! I am so thankful for the impact she has made on our whole family."
Hi, I'm Ms. Ali
I'm the founder and lead speech language pathologist at Word Play Speech Therapy. I created Word Play Speech Therapy to empower families to play an active part in their child's communication development.
I’m thrilled to share that I’m featured in the August 2025 MSHA Link, the official newsletter of the Missouri Speech-Language-Hearing Association! This piece spotlights my journey into private practice and why I formed the St. Charles Private Practice Network.
