SPEECH, LANGUAGE, & MYOFUNCTIONAL Therapy Services

Inspired Therapy provides speech, language, and orofacial myofunctional therapy services to families throughout the Fairbanks, AK region.

Evaluations

During your child’s first session, we will play, discuss your speech and language concerns, and get to know one another.

We will also complete formal testing to learn more about your child’s current strengths, challenges, and overall skills. This gives us a starting point for therapy and allows us to track your child’s progress over time.

Once the evaluation process is complete, we will share our results and recommendations. You and your doctor will receive a written report and a plan of care with your child’s therapy goals.

OUR APPROACH

At Inspired Speech, our sessions are play-based and engaging. Your child will enjoy learning new speech and language skills as they participate in activities of their choice.

We strongly believe in a collaborative approach to therapy and view parents as an essential part of the team. You will be involved every step of the way—from the evaluation, to choosing therapy goals, and applying new strategies in everyday life.

Together, we will realize your child’s greatest communication potential!
