Our early childhood practice coaches children and parents to build their skills and grow their potential. At Build & Grow, we see the child first and the challenge second.
Are you wondering if: Your child’s speech is ‘normal’? Will they outgrow this? You can somehow help them improve? Speech therapy would even help? We can answer all those questions and more with a free 15-minute consultation call.
Build and Grow speech therapy pairs the best therapist to meet the unique needs of your child. Sessions are entirely play-based and many of our clients eagerly look forward to when they get to ‘play’ with one of our staff.
Our therapists are trained to aid young children to expand how they connect with others. Shared connection lays the foundation for meaningful communication.
Our therapists will help your child speak with confidence, as we improve their pronunciation of sounds and adjust the rate or volume of speech as needed.
Our therapists will determine if your child’s stuttering will resolve on its own or if direct therapy is needed. We can help your child achieve the smooth speech both you and they desire!
Our therapists will help your child process and understand language and expand their ability to communicate; including aiding limited vocabulary, ‘late’ talkers and mixed-up grammar.
Our expertise includes early childhood, speech sound difficulties, voice disorders, language concerns and Autism Spectrum Disorder. We use parent friendly language to explain what we do and provide you with the tools to help your child between sessions.

Cassidy has been so helpful to me and my four year old son! She is fun, outgoing and creative, and also structured and goal-oriented. She made visual schedules and charts to help me support my son’s progress between therapy sessions. She patiently answers all my questions on the phone and in-person and we can already see some great progress since working with her.

We can build new neural pathways and connections when we teach new skills and they are stronger and easier to establish in the young brain. Let’s not waste this precious time.

It is entirely possible a child will ‘outgrow’ a difficulty or delay. However, it is advisable to let a certified professional help make that decision with you. You can schedule a free call with one of our therapists who will be glad to help you make the right decision for you and your child.
