SOCIAL BUTTERFLY SPEECH THERAPY
OUR UNIQUE PRACTICE
Social Butterfly is unique. We are a small, boutique private practice. You will ALWAYS speak directly to a speech-language pathologist before your first appointment. The scope of practice for the speech-language pathologist is huge. We don't do it all, but what we do do we do very well! We are specialists in a few niche areas. We strive to provide the very best, evidence based therapy in these areas. When we work with children we take a child-led, family-centered approach. Our experienced and knowledgeable clinicians have advanced training and specialize in the following areas:
-
Adult and pediatric stuttering

Delayed echolalia & gestalt language processing

The communication and feeding challenges associated with autism

Play and social communication

SCRIPTING (DELAYED ECHOLALIA)
Does your child echo or script to communicate? Do they repeat questions, books or movies, but have a hard time producing spontaneous utterances? Have you tried different therapies and techniques but don't see improvement? PLEASE check out Natural Language Acquisition. If this sounds like your child and you are curious to hear about using this approach, contact us!
