A Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA) is a trained professional who has a bachelor's degree in communication sciences and disorders or a related field. They are qualified to provide speech therapy sessions under the supervision of a licensed speech therapist. A Clinical Fellow (SLP-CF) is a speech therapist who has finished their master’s degree and is in their first year of practice. During this time, they work under the guidance of an experienced, licensed speech therapist before becoming fully certified. This allows them to gain hands-on experience while ensuring your child receives high-quality care.

We work with children from 18 months through 16 years at all nine Thrive Speech Therapy locations.

Every child is unique and their length of therapy is also individualized. Some children make rapid progress and need only a short period of therapy, while others may require ongoing support to build and maintain communication skills.

Most of the children we see receive therapy 1 to 2 times per week for 30 minute sessions.

Yes! By sitting in on your child's session, you are able to see therapy strategies you can use at home! You also can wait in the lobby of our clinics to ensure that your child can build a strong relationship with their therapist. Your child's therapist will talk to you at the end of the session to discuss how you can support your child at home.
