Services
-
Does your child use AAC or are you interested in your child obtaining a speech-generating device?
AAC stands for Augmentative and Alternative Communication. With the right support, AAC can open up a whole new world of communication!
-
Does your child have trouble saying certain sounds clearly?
Speech therapy helps improve speech clarity so others can better understand your child.
-
Are you concerned your toddler isn’t talking yet or using many words?
Early language intervention supports communication development through play-based, family-centered strategies during your child’s most critical years.
-
Does your child speak mostly in scripts or long phrases they've heard before?
We support gestalt language processors by honoring their natural language style and guiding them toward meaningful, self-generated speech. Work with a Meaningful Speech certified SLP to support your child’s language. -
Is your child looking for support in understanding social interactions while being their authentic self?
Our approach builds confidence and connection through individualized, strengths-based support. -
Is your child struggling to understand directions or express their thoughts?
Language therapy strengthens both understanding (receptive) and sharing ideas (expressive) to build strong communication skills.
Meet the Founder + Lead SLP
I'm a speech-language pathologist who specializes in pediatric speech. I love working with children and their families to support their communication goals. Since 2017, I've gained experience in early intervention, schools, and clinics. I founded MAPS Speech Therapy in 2023.
My mission is to make speech therapy fun and enjoyable for your child and to provide you with the resources you need as a caregiver. I make sure to incorporate each child's favorite interests into speech sessions. Together, we can transform learning into a meaningful adventure for your child.

Kind Words from Families 💖
“Nicole is such a kind soul. She has been so easy to work with. Choosing her to work with my son has been the best choice. Only 6 months of learning and my son is now a little chatter box. He loved learning with Nicole and looked forward to her video calls.”
“Nicole always advocates for the students she works with and is passionate about helping children learn to communicate through AAC.”

Schedule your free initial phone call - fill out a form or send us a text or email. We'll talk about your concerns and see if your child needs an evaluation.

An initial evaluation includes standardized tests, informal tests, and questionnaires. These help determine if your child needs services.

If your child qualifies for speech therapy, the SLP will create a treatment plan. They will work with your family on this. They will schedule speech therapy sessions at that time.
