Speech and Language Therapy: Building Strong Communication Skills for Everyday Success

Speech and Language Therapy

Whole Mind Psychological Services provides supportive speech and language therapy to help children strengthen the communication skills needed for learning, relationships, self-expression, and everyday life. Our personalized approach helps students build confidence in how they understand language, express ideas, communicate with others, and participate more fully at home, school, and in social settings.

Speech and Language Therapy can help with:
Difficulty pronouncing sounds or being understood clearly by others
Trouble understanding directions, questions, or classroom language
Challenges expressing thoughts, needs, ideas, or emotions through words
Limited vocabulary, sentence structure, or conversational skills

We work closely with students and families to understand each child’s communication strengths, challenges, and individual needs. Therapy may focus on speech sound production, receptive and expressive language, vocabulary development, sentence formation, listening skills, social communication, conversation skills, and confidence in self-expression.

Our goal is not just to help children communicate more clearly, but to help them feel heard, understood, and confident in their ability to connect with others. With consistent guidance, engaging activities, and the right support, children can strengthen the communication skills that support success at school, at home, and beyond.

What Our Clients Say

Our daughter was a high-performing and engaged student, but was challenged with standard classroom environments and ways of learning. The assessment process was incredibly thorough, supportive, and empowering, and the recommendations translated directly into practical classroom strategies. Today, our daughter is thriving with confidence and a love of learning at college!

Rhonda M.

It was a pleasure working with Michelle. She was professional and diligent in meeting the needs of our schools. Michelle hit the road running and was instrumental in ensuring that our schools remained compliant with state and federal regulations. Her services are highly recommended, and I hope I get the chance to work with her in the future.

Colleague

What sets Michelle apart is how she presents complex findings in a way that families truly understand. I’ve sat in meetings where parents arrived anxious and overwhelmed, and left feeling informed, reassured, and empowered. She has a rare ability to balance clinical depth with warmth and clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ADHD testing?

ADHD testing is a comprehensive evaluation process designed to understand attention, focus, impulsivity, executive functioning, and learning-related challenges. A professional ADHD evaluation helps identify whether symptoms may be related to ADHD and provides a clearer understanding of an individual’s strengths and areas where support may be helpful.

Who can benefit from ADHD testing?

ADHD testing may be helpful for children, teenagers, or adults who experience ongoing challenges with attention, organization, completing tasks, managing time, impulsive behaviors, or staying focused at school, work, or daily activities.

What happens during an ADHD evaluation?

An ADHD evaluation typically includes a detailed review of concerns, developmental history, behavioral patterns, and assessments related to attention and executive functioning. The goal is to understand the complete picture rather than focus on a single symptom.

How does ADHD testing help students?

ADHD testing can help identify learning and attention challenges that may affect academic performance. The results can provide recommendations and strategies to support students at school and at home.

Can ADHD testing identify other learning concerns?

Yes. A comprehensive evaluation may also help identify other factors that can impact learning, such as learning differences, executive functioning difficulties, or emotional and behavioral concerns.

Why is professional ADHD testing important?

Professional ADHD testing provides a deeper understanding of attention and learning patterns. It helps families receive clear recommendations and guidance based on individual needs rather than assumptions.
