About Us

Our Mission

Speech Compass is dedicated to helping each child find their voice and acquire skills to increase their participation in both academic and social events. We are focused on creating a safe, interactive and fun space for our children and their caregivers to acquire new skills in the areas of speech, language, play, social skills and feeding. We celebrate the unique characteristics that make up your child and provide individual specialized support to help them attain their goals. Every child deserves to receive the specialized support necessary to increase their ability to communicate and enjoy every aspect of life.
