Affordable Speech-Language Services for Children and Adults

Helping people of every age and ability share their stories with the world.

No-one should be held back because of their communication.

Nearly 8% of children ages 3-17 in the United States will receive poor grades, have low self-esteem, and make fewer friends — all because of communication challenges.

However, not only children are deeply impacted by social stigmas that affect their daily lives. The same is true for more than 10% of adults.

The Big Picture SLP is passionate about improving outcomes. No one should be held back from life, school, relationships, careers, or opportunities because of their communication.

Accessible and Affordable Speech-Language Services

Hearing loss, cognitive issues, family history, genetic disorders, and environment can impact speech and language. The pandemic has played a significant role, especially for young children who lost years of social experiences or were assessed with standardized testing that doesn’t work for everyone. At The Big Picture SLP, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. We use scientific evidence to develop prevention, assessment, and individualized treatment plans for the specific needs of every client.

Change can be hard.
We make it easier for you.

You’ve got busy work-life demands and schedules. No problem! We’ll come to you. We can also arrange to meet you via tele-health or at one of our satellite locations.
