Improving Communication at Your School

with Word Play Speech Therapy!

Are your teachers looking for effective ways to support children with language delays-or simply need a refresher on early language development strategies?

Word Play Consultations: Empowering Families and Schools with Speech and Language Strategies

Initial consultation - $200

Empower your classroom with expert guidance from a licensed speech-language pathologist. We offer personalized consultations designed to support students with communication challenges including articulation, language, social communication, or overall classroom participation.

Each consultation will include observation of the classroom teachers, environment and collaboration with educators to identify communication barriers. The speech-language pathologist will suggest practical, easy-to-implement strategies to improve communication skills throughout classroom routines, centers and circle time. 

Following the consultation, your school will receive a comprehensive written summary including:

• Recommended accommodations 
  

• Resource suggestions
  

• Specific evidence-based speech and language strategies to improve students' communication skills. 

Whether you're seeking input for a specific student or general classroom strategies, Word Play's goal is to equip you with tools that promote meaningful communication and inclusive learning—one step at a time.

Support Your Educators with Practical, Research-Based Training

Word Play Speech Therapy offers a dynamic, in-person professional development course designed specifically for early childhood educators. This training provides practical, research-backed techniques to foster communication in preschoolers, with strategies teachers can implement immediately-no prep required.

Educators receive helpful resources to share with families to encourage learning to extend beyond the classroom.

Participants gain insights on how to expand children's vocabulary, facilitate social interactions, and enhance communication skills. By integrating language-building techniques into preschool learning centers-such as dramatic play, art, and fine motor activities-teachers can create enriched language experiences tailored to each child's developmental level. The course also covers effective shared book reading strategies and ways to make snack and recess times opportunities for peer interaction and communication.
