The first step in our process is to complete an evaluation to gather information about your child's communication strengths and challenges. Since we never take a one-size-fits-all approach, the evaluation process varies for each child and includes observations, parent interviews, standardized assessments, and input from other professionals. Once testing is complete, our therapists collaborate with your family to create a tailored plan with specific goals for your child.

Free Screenings: We also offer free screenings for local preschools and daycares. Contact us to sign up today.

Early speech therapy (ages 0-3) lays a solid foundation for speech and language development. We focus on teaching caregivers how to foster language-rich environments, enhance communication opportunities, and apply early language strategies to help their child reach their full communication potential.

All our providers have completed advanced coursework through the NC Early Intervention program, meeting the highest standards for family-centered practice. Our approach includes family education, parent coaching, counseling, and intervention in each child's most natural setting.

After identifying specific sounds and sound patterns your child struggles with, we design interactive, playful, and energetic sessions for practicing accurate sounds. Using evidence-based methods, our speech therapy helps children speak clearly and confidently with peers and adults.

Our team includes specialists who have taken advanced coursework in the treatment of Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) Disorder that affect speech sound accuracy.

We support children with complex communication needs through Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). AAC enables individuals to use a mix of pictures, signs, gestures, and/or tablet devices to express their needs, wants, ideas, and feelings. We work closely with each child and family to determine the best communication system, secure funding for necessary devices, and integrate AAC into daily life.

Our providers have advanced training in PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) and experience with various high-tech language systems, including LAMP, GoTalk, and TDSnapCore.

At Express Communication Therapy, we offer evaluations and therapy in Spanish or a bilingual approach, depending on the degree of bilingualism. Our therapists hold bilingual Master's Degrees specialized in bilingualism, making them experts in treating children who are bilingual and may have language or speech delays.

Express Communication Therapy provides services in naturalistic settings: homes, ABA centers, daycares, preschools, and Head Start. We are also offering Telepractice at the moment from the comfort of your home.
