What We Do:

At Playful Speech Explorers we come to you! We provide individualized speech and language therapy services tailored to your child in the comfort of your home or online. We work primarily with children ages 1 to 10, focusing on the following communication areas: language delay, expressive and receptive language development, phonological and articulation skills, play skills, echolalia and scripting, social communication, fluency, and phonological awareness. Our goal is to work with you to develop treatment plans based on what works for your child and your family.

Sessions are designed based on a child-led approach, creating an environment where your child’s strengths will flourish. Practicing and learning new skills in a safe, familiar, and comfortable environment with your Playful Speech Explorers clinician will give your child a sense of empowerment that they can bring out into the world and begin to use in their everyday life.

Our Core Values

  • Child-led

    We believe in using a child-led approach to therapy to include the child as a fundamental part of their therapy process, increase autonomy and self-confidence, and promote growth.

  • Play-based

    For pediatric clients, therapy based in play increases spontaneous language and promotes natural opportunities for children to implement their skills while doing something they enjoy.

  • Neurodiversity-affirming

    At Playful Speech Explorers we use a neurodiversity-affirming lens through which we presume competence by working with our clients to build treatment programs based on their interests and strengths.

  • Strengths-based

    Determination of a child’s strengths plays a significant role in their ability to thrive during therapy sessions. Providing them with activities that are focused around their strengths can help them meet their goals, while also helping them feel supported and understood by their clinician.

Areas We Serve

Speech and language services provided by Playful Speech Explorers LLC are presently provided in Hudson, MA, and surrounding areas. Services will be determined case by case, based on clinician availability and proximity to client’s location.

“Ms. Sarah worked with my daughter for roughly 2 years. During that time the improvements we noticed were amazing. Her articulation of words and sounds improved and she became much more confident when speaking to people. Sarah is kind and patient and has a passion for helping kids. My daughter loves Sarah and looks forward to seeing her and working with her.”
