Speech Therapy for Kids of All Ages

Kent, WA

Welcome to Kids First Communication

At Kids First Communication, we work to give your child the ability to communicate their wants and needs, their thoughts and ideas, their hopes and dreams.

We’re Here to Help!

How Can Speech and Language Therapy Help?

Communication is a building block for all interactions. Whether we are building intelligibility, increasing language, or learning to understand the social messages around us, the goal is to help your child become an effective communicator.

What We Specialize In

We provide pediatric speech and language therapy services for children ages birth through adolescence. Our model is seasonal - using a 10-week summer schedule to provide your child with consistent therapy services. Perfect for children who need a boost before entering school or while their educationally or medically based therapy services are paused.

Why Kids First Communication?

Heather M. Scheer, M.S., CCC-SLP

Owner, Speech Language Pathologist

At Kids First Communication, we believe in the message of our name - Kids are the most important part of the therapy equation and should be our First priority. And we do that by working on Communication in a variety of ways - gestures, facial expressions, body language, active listening, and of course, speech!

But we realize that communication doesn’t just happen in the therapy room - which is why caregiver involvement is so important. Our belief that parents are partners means we promote continued practice and value success at home and in the community as part of our therapy program.

Heather brings 30 years of experience in the field of communication disorders to her treatment sessions. And she thinks that the BEST part of a therapy session is when she sees a child smile because they conquered something new in their communication journey.
