Testimonials
"My son came to see Jennifer struggling to pronounce several letters. He is 10 and wanted nothing to do with speech therapy. From day 1 meeting Jennifer he has been completely in board and is making great progress. She makes him feel comfortable, confident and he actually enjoys his therapy sessions because of the methods she uses to engage the patient. I'm sure each age level has its own method but for my son I like how she gets him to interact." - Parent of client
I can’t recommend Jennifer at Playing Our Part Speech Therapy highly enough! As former colleagues, I personally witnessed her dedication to children, her creative and engaging therapy sessions, and her vast knowledge of both phonological disorders and language disorders. Jennifer goes above and beyond to provide the BEST services to her clients!
Mrs. Jen is truly one of the most genuine, caring therapists I have ever encountered. She pours her heart into each of her clients and puts in the extra effort and energy because of how much she truly cares for each child and their family. I’m so grateful for all the helpful, FREE tips she has provided on Instagram, a reference to clients curious about speech therapy.
​Mrs. Jen is such a great resource! While school gives a general understanding of AAC, Jen is knowledgeable enough to provide much more detailed information. She provides personalized and practical suggestions that I used with my students.
I highly recommend her consulting services, especially in anything relating to AAC or working with the littles.

Services

Speech Sounds  
Having trouble understanding your child's speech? This may consist of distorted sounds or sound substitutions ("tootie" rather than "cookie" or "side" instead of "slide"). We support children in developing age-appropriate speech sounds.

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
We believe in promoting total communication. This means all forms of communication are celebrated. Why limit your child's voice? We are interested in how your child prefers to communicate as well as modeling various communication approaches to expand your child's communication options.​

Family Coaching
​A great way for skills to carry over is to include families in on speech and language strategies. Several strategies can be used in daily routines (no need to set aside time for 'homework'). Let's work together to promote functional skills that are embedded in your every day routines.
