Pediatric Speech, Language, Reading, Writing, & Feeding Services
Providing speech therapy to children at home, daycare, and school throughout Northern Virginia & Philadelphia's Main Line
Our Approach to Therapy
At OWLS Therapy, we believe that children learn best when speech therapy is both fun and meaningful. That’s why our pediatric speech therapists design sessions around your child’s interests, using favorite toys, games, and seasonal activities to keep them engaged. While we’re playing, we’re also working hard to reach your child’s speech, language, literacy, or feeding therapy goals with proven strategies and the latest research-based approaches.
Every child is unique, and so is every therapy plan. We tailor our sessions to focus on the exact skills your child needs to succeed in school and in life. Our pediatric speech therapists team up with parents, teachers, and other professionals to make therapy as effective as possible— because it takes a village to raise a child, and we are happy to be part of yours!
Comprehensive Evaluations
During our first session, we will evaluate your child’s literacy, feeding, or communication skills. While our evaluations are never “one size fits all”, we will aim to get a complete picture of your child’s strengths and needs through:
Parent interviews
Standardized assessments
Observations
Informal tests
Once testing is over, your speech therapist will go over the results, make professional recommendations, and answer any questions you may have. This is the first step toward your child’s bright future!
