Yes. Early intervention speech therapy is highly effective for late-talking toddlers in Fairfield. Our specialized techniques stimulate language development during critical developmental periods (ages 18-36 months), often preventing more significant communication challenges later.

When searching for a speech therapist in Fairfield, look for an ASHA-certified speech-language pathologist with specialized pediatric training and Connecticut licensure.

Our free phone consultation helps determine if our personalized in-home therapy approach is right for your child.

Fairfield Public Schools offer quality speech services, but school therapists often have large caseloads and provide therapy in group settings with limited one-on-one time. Many Fairfield families choose private speech therapy to supplement school services with more intensive, individualized attention. We work collaboratively with school therapists at McKinley, Stratfield, Holland Hill, and other Fairfield elementary schools, as well as Fairfield Ludlowe and Fairfield Warde High Schools, to ensure consistent progress.

We provide expert treatment for Fairfield children with articulation disorders (difficulty with R, S, L, TH sounds), expressive and receptive language delays, childhood apraxia of speech, phonological disorders, stuttering and fluency disorders, social communication challenges, and speech issues related to autism. We serve children ages 2-12 throughout all Fairfield neighborhoods.

In-home speech therapy in Fairfield eliminates travel time to clinic appointments, allows therapy in your child's familiar environment where they're most comfortable, enables parents to observe and learn techniques for home practice, offers flexible scheduling around Fairfield's busy family activities, and allows the therapist to incorporate your child's own toys and routines into therapy for more functional, natural practice.

Speech By Madison provides mobile in-home services throughout Fairfield, CT. We come directly to your home whether you're in Southport, Greenfield Hill, Fairfield Beach, downtown Fairfield, or any other neighborhood. We can also provide virtual teletherapy sessions or meet at convenient community locations if preferred.

Depending on your child's individual needs, most children in our Fairfield speech therapy practice are seen one to three times per week for 30 or 45-minute sessions. The frequency and duration are customized based on your child's evaluation results, treatment goals, and your family's schedule. We offer flexible scheduling to accommodate busy Fairfield families.

Each child has an individualized treatment plan tailored to their specific communication needs. The duration of therapy varies based on the severity of the speech or language disorder, consistency of attendance, and family participation in home practice activities. Active family involvement and carryover of recommended strategies at home help decrease the total time a child needs therapy. We provide regular progress updates to Fairfield families.

All new clients require a comprehensive speech and language evaluation to identify strengths and areas of concern. If your Fairfield child has had an assessment completed by another therapy provider within the last 6 months or has a current IEP from their school, these documents can be used to guide a treatment plan instead of conducting a new evaluation. The evaluation includes standardized testing, a formal report, and a follow-up conference.

We will send out an invoice at the end of the month outlining all services conducted. Payment is due within 7 days of receiving the invoice.

We accept cash, credit card and FSA/HSA cards as a form of payment.

We provide speech for kids ages 2-13 with various articulation and language delays.

Yes! Many Fairfield students do not qualify for school-based speech therapy because their speech or language disorder must have a direct impact on their education to meet eligibility criteria. However, these children still have communication challenges that warrant private intervention. We frequently work with Fairfield children who didn't qualify for school services but need support to communicate effectively with peers, express themselves clearly, or build confidence.
