What to Expect
Our Pediatric Speech Therapy Services
At PedsTeam, our goal is to help your child succeed by providing personalized, high-quality care. Here’s what you can expect when your child starts with our pediatric speech therapy services:
Thorough Evaluation
We begin with a thorough assessment of your child’s speech, language, and communication abilities. This helps us develop a personalized speech therapy plan tailored to their needs.
Custom Speech Therapy Plan
Based on the evaluation, we create a custom pediatric speech therapy plan to target areas where your child needs the most support. Each plan is unique and focuses on helping your child reach their communication goals.
Play-Based Therapy Sessions
Therapy should be interactive and fun! Our therapy sessions are designed to keep children motivated and excited as they work on improving their speech and language skills.
Regular Progress Updates
After each therapy session, we’ll keep you informed of your child’s progress and adjust the therapy plan as needed to ensure continuous improvement. These updates often include tips for home-based support the caregivers can supply between sessions.

Rachel Jones, MS, CCC-SLP
Founder / Clinic Director
“My love for children has always been at the heart of who I am, and I knew I wanted a career that allowed me to nurture and support them. I firmly believe that every child is fearfully and wonderfully made, and it’s a true joy to celebrate their uniqueness while helping them turn their strengths into confidence. Speech-language pathology was the perfect fit for me, combining my passion for communication with my deep desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children.”
Erin Phillips, MA, CCC-SLP
Speech Language-Pathology Team Leader
“Therapy is fun. I get to play and be silly with my clients! At the end of the day, I know I’ve made a positive impact on children and their families by helping parents better understand their child’s individual needs and have the tools to help their children outside of therapy.”
Britney Belles, MS, CCC-SLP
Speech Language-Pathologist
“I am passionate about helping others. I have seen first-hand the positive impact that early intervention can have on a child. I love celebrating with my patients and their families as they accomplish their goals. It is such a special feeling when a child completes all their goals and graduates. The children always have the sweetest smiles when we hand them their graduation certificate and PedsTeam cape.”
Hannah Cochenour, MA, CCC-SLP
Speech Language-Pathologist
“True connection with others is what motivates, energizes, and inspires me! I chose a career in communication sciences and disorders because I understand how vital communication support is in influencing a person’s ability to learn, express themselves, and meet basic needs. Regardless of the challenges someone may face, I decided I wanted to be prepared to offer the right support and help individuals feel more connected to the world around them.”
Ally Eames, MA, CCC-SLP
Speech Language-Pathologist
“I love the opportunity to be creative in developing individualized plans for my clients, but also in the therapy sessions. I enjoy using fun, themed, multi-sensory activities to work on clients’ goals. I love watching my clients’ skills bloom and seeing the positive impact it has in their daily lives. It brings me so much joy to see clients gain confidence in their voice.”
Mary Horton Jenkins, MS, CCC-SLP
Speech Language-Pathologist
“I chose pediatric speech therapy because I believe strongly in the incredible impact that early intervention can have on a child’s life. I love getting to know my patients and discovering what excites and motivates them. Helping children find their voice is the most rewarding part of what I do.”
Victoria Schreiber, MA, CCC-SLP
Speech Language-Pathologist
“I get so much joy from helping others, and I am a child at heart, so having the opportunity to play and be silly, while also helping children meet their goals and catch up to peers is an absolute dream! I have the best job in the world!”
Hannah Smith, MA, CCC-SLP
Speech Language-Pathologist
“Being an SLP is one the great joys of my life, because at the heart of my career, I am in the big, beautiful business of connection. To be human is to be connected to those around us- in word and conversation, in play and teamwork, in shared meals and laughter. It is an honor to serve as a resource for families as we take their child by the hand and lead them, together, to connect with their world and the loved ones within.”
