Why choose Stellar Speech Therapy?
CONNECTION

Whether in person or virtual, the client-clinician relationship is such an important part of therapy. Research shows that is a critical factor for progress. I truly enjoy working with my clients and I want them to enjoy working with me as well. I strive to connect with my clients on a personal level.

Home activities

I provide suggestions and home activities for your child to practice their skills outside of the therapy session. Home practice allows them to strengthen their skills in a variety of environments.
All clients receive a calendar with daily homework assignments to guide your activity selection.

Sample Speech Homework

Parent involvement

I encourage parents to be as involved as possible in the therapy process. I may spend 30 minutes to an hour per week with your child, but you are with them 24/7! I want you to be able to help your child use skills they have mastered in therapy in their everyday conversations.

Parent Testimonials

Michael M.

Our son has made amazing progress with his speech working with Ms. Gates and we could not be more thankful for her hard work. From an early age he has loved seeing her and her amazing attitude, energy and knowledge. We could not recommend her more.

Lisa S.

My daughter wears hearing aids for a mild hearing loss and had speech therapy sessions with Arielle for two years. When she started with Arielle as a four year old, her speech was often difficult to decipher, but through weekly speech therapy sessions, her articulation vastly improved and she now speaks with perfect, perhaps better than average, articulation. People we meet often comment on how well spoken she is for her age. We are so grateful to have found Arielle!

Arielle helped our son improve his speech, and made it so enjoyable that it always seemed like fun to him and he always looked forward to it.
