Our Mission is to
Honor the divine image present in each child
through excellent therapeutic intervention.
by
nurturing communication throughout development - from nest to flight.
How we do it
Speech therapy is all about communication. We work to improve your child's ability to clearly and consistently get their point across throughout their daily environments. Where we focus intervention centers on where the child's need is.
Wait, how do I know if my child needs speech therapy?
Here are a few things to look for
Note: this is not an exhaustive list. It should not be used on its own to screen for speech-language disorders. Please consult a pediatrician or speech therapist if you have any concerns about your child.
-
Are they mostly meeting communication milestones? Communication milestones are research-backed, specific behaviors that you can look for based on your child's age. The milestones below have been developed by ASHA (the American Speech and Hearing Association), the governing national professional body for speech therapy credentialing and advocacy. Communication Milestones by Age Range - Note: these milestones should be viewed as flexible guidance, not hard and fast rules. A general rule of thumb is if a child is not meeting several age-level milestones, then talk to their pediatrician or a speech therapist.
-
Are they often frustrated or embarrassed when they try to get their point across? Frequent emotion surrounding communication can be a big clue of something deeper. It can be obvious, such as anger or tantrums when mom or dad doesn't understand, or it can be more subtle, like avoiding conversation, interaction, or even specific words or topics that they struggle with.
-
Are they able to communicate, play, and build friendships with their peers? Relationship is at the heart of communication, so if they are having trouble building relationships with kids their age, then that could be a sign of a speech, language, or hearing barrier.
About Me
My name is Phillip Lunt
I have been a speech therapist for 5 years. After graduating from Miami University with my M.A. in Speech Pathology in 2020, I practiced as a CF in Columbus and then received my ASHA CCC and Ohio SLP license in 2021. I have worked as a speech therapist in schools, outpatient clinics, day programs, and homes, and have a special love for working with individuals with Autism and those who utilize AAC. I have three boys of my own at home, and like my Grammy in this picture, I am a follower of Jesus. She helped me know that He is the one who teaches birds to sing and mouths to speak His praises, and she always had a love for birds of all kinds.
