OWLS Therapy

OWLS Therapy is a speech and language therapy practice serving children in Philadelphia’s Main Line. We are dedicated to helping your child's speech and communication skills develop and grow as we believe they are essential to their academic and social success. We offer comprehensive evaluations and devise individual therapy plans that best match your child’s personal needs. We also offer all therapy in-home, provide parent and teacher training, offer classroom observations, and help with navigating school-based services.

We believe that by working together as a team, your child can reach their full potential. While it takes a village to raise a child, we believe it takes a strong rapport between the child, the parent, and the clinician to reach success in therapy. We believe that knowledge is power and that together we can succeed. We have experience with:

*Apraxia/Oral Motor Speech Disorders: a motor planning issue which results in incorrect production of various speech sounds.
