Our Mission
Connect Grow Communicate
Child Led Speech believes that every child deserves a confident voice. Drawing on 30 years of clinical expertise, we utilize a compassionate, child-led approach to transform communication challenges into joyful, lasting progress. Our mission is to partner with families, turning speech struggles into clear, connected, and spontaneous conversation.
Melanie helped our daughter, who was speech delayed, begin talking around age two. With her years of experience, she jump-started progress in ways we couldn’t achieve at home. Her creative approach, education, and practical tools have helped our daughter blossom—forming words, sentences, and confidence. Melanie’s services truly bring peace of mind to any parent concerned about their child’s speech development!
