Build confidence through communication
Speech therapy helps children improve clarity and confidence so they can connect at home, in school, and with peers. At Michiana Speech Therapy, we specialize in articulation and speech sound disorders, language delays, fluency challenges, and alternative communication (AAC).

Goals of therapy
We use evidence-based strategies to improve speech clarity, strengthen oral motor function, and build carryover into everyday life. Therapy plans are personalized to your child’s needs, helping them grow confidence and independence in communication.
