Absolutely. Early intervention speech therapy is highly effective for late-talking toddlers in Westport. Our evidence-based techniques promote language development during critical periods (ages 18-36 months), often preventing more serious speech delays. We provide convenient in-home therapy throughout Westport including Compo Beach area, Saugatuck, Greens Farms, and all neighborhoods.

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

Speech by Madison is a mobile speech clinic that conducts services in the clients home. We can also provide services virtually, at your local library or park!

Westport Public Schools offer excellent speech services, but school-based therapists typically manage large caseloads and provide therapy in group settings with limited individual session time. Many Westport families choose supplemental private speech therapy for more intensive, one-on-one attention. We collaborate with school therapists at Greens Farms, Kings Highway, Long Lots, Saugatuck, Coleytown, Bedford, and Staples to ensure coordinated care.

Depending on your child's individual needs, most children in our Westport 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 Westport families.

In-home speech therapy in Westport 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 Westport's busy family activities, and allows the therapist to incorporate your child's own toys and routines into therapy for more functional, natural practice.

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 Westport families.

All new clients require a comprehensive speech and language evaluation to identify strengths and areas of concern. If your Westport 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 Westport 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 Westport children who didn't qualify for school services but need support to communicate effectively with peers, express themselves clearly, or build confidence.
