Language Therapy

Language development is a critical part of communication.

We serve children with a diagnosis of:

Social Communication Skills

Social communication is how we combine and use all of our speech and language skills as we navigate our world and our relationships. At Kids First Communication we work to build turn-taking, understanding the importance of paying attention to our communication partners, and the confidence to express ourselves with friends and family in a productive way to make sure needs are met through a Social Thinking (Garcia-Winner) lens. We serve children with a diagnosis of:

  • Social Communication Disorder

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder

We will be accepting new clients in May 2025!
