Does my child need speech therapy?
Help your child thrive in school, at home, and with friends by unlocking their communication potential.
You Know What's Best
As a parent, you know your child better than anyone. If you’ve noticed they are struggling to speak clearly, put words together, understand instructions, or express themselves, you might be wondering if it’s “just a phase” or something more.
Speech therapy can be the bridge that helps your child move from frustration to confidence — and the earlier you address concerns, the better the outcomes.

Why Sooner is Better
Speech and language skills develop rapidly in the early years. Waiting to “see if they grow out of it” can delay progress and make habits harder to change later.
Children who receive help early often need fewer sessions and show faster improvement.

Client Testimonials
We were not sure who else to turn to for some of our daughter's struggles, but after filling out a thorough assessment and talking at length to Kristy, we felt comfortable and encouraged to start with OT. She was so easy to talk to and made herself available for questions or concerns at any time. She helped us see and understand that sensory challenges could be the best place to focus attention and therapy on. We had no idea! Therapy with Kristy helped so much!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Prickly Pear. My son has made progress since he began therapy with Kristy (OT) and Kalista (Speech). My son is autistic and nonverbal. He is four years old. The therapists are empathetic, fun, engaging, knowledgeable, understanding, patient, and professional. Their space is great and has a number of fun activities that my son enjoys. I am very grateful for these gals! They are superb! I highly recommend Prickly Pear!!
