What is Speech Language Therapy?

  • As humans we all have a need for connection. We believe that all behavior is communication.

  • Communication needs are different per person. At Little Rainbow, we believe in meeting your child and family where they are. We find ways to make communication functional for the family unit. There is no one right way to communicate!

  • Communication needs change over the lifespan of children. We support all needs from articulation, fluency, Augmentative and Alternative communication, gestalt language processors, and more!
