Venture Speech collaborates with families who are eager to enhance their children's communication skills for success in all of life's adventures. Venture Speech owner and speech-language pathologist, Taylor, provides movement-based, nature-based, aquatic-based, and school-based speech services.

As a neurodivergent individual, Taylor takes pride in recognizing and respecting the diverse ways in which all brains process and engage with the world and provides neurodiversity affirming care to her clients. Taylor prioritizes your child's safety, emotional regulation, and is trauma informed. Speech therapy is tailored towards your child's interests and is child-led, adult-guided. A total communication approach is used which values all forms of expression such as spoken language, gestures, and/or the use of an AAC device. Taylor encourages your child to build self-awareness and self-advocacy skills to discover their preferred ways of listening and learning.

Movement is incorporated into speech sessions at the speech gym office, nature location, and pool location as a means to enhance engagement and focus. This typically looks like being present or strolling in nature, splashing in water, kicking a ball, building a fort, climbing, or creating a dance. Active learning and engagement facilitate connections that are crucial for the carryover of speech skills across multiple environments. At Venture Speech, your child can connect, engage, build self-awareness, and practice communication skills in various contexts.

Building confidence and finding communication success is vital, as we communicate all day long at home, school, practice, clubs, or even on a mountaintop! I look forward to partnering with your family to develop communication goals tailored to the activities and environments your family is passionate about. Together, we will leverage your child's strengths and passions to create a goal plan that empowers them to become their best communicator to better navigate their daily adventures.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about Venture Speech. I hope to connect soon! 🌲
