What makes us different from your everyday speech clinic...
Therapy at Blue Jellyfish is child-led and play-based. This results in the maximum amount of learning and generalization possible for our clients. We believe in involving family-centered therapy to form a strong, cohesive team to best help you and/or your child.
We target spontaneous, creative, and flexible language, as well as increasing the desire to communicate with others. We help children move through the language, social, and play stages specific to their type of development, until they are able to communicate in a manner similar to their peers. We work on social understanding through play, stories, and discussion. We believe in building on children’s strengths.
For clients working on speech sounds, they will generally be doing fun things, like playing with games and toys while learning the sounds. We want the time to be fun and rewarding for them while they are learning. We have excellent results with lasting speech clarity and phonics preparation.
We have an autism specialization with incredible results. We target spontaneous, creative, and self-generated language. This helps children avoid the common pitfalls of prompt dependency and interaction resistance.
We are not able to take children currently undergoing ABA treatment, but we are experienced at family-centered ABA recovery.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING ...
/
Our lives have been profoundly changed for the better upon meeting and working with Anne. I got the distinct sense that she truly cared about children and was passionate about working with them. She addressed all of my concerns and pointed us in the right direction to optimize services our daughter would need. She worked with the recommendations provided by our developmental pediatrician and created a curriculum to improve our daughter's speech delay that each member of the household could perform. In just 3 months time, our daughter's speech dramatically improved and she became much more vocal and verbally interactive. Now, just barely 6 months after our first meeting with Annie, our daughter won't stop talking!
We are forever grateful to Annie for unlocking the key to our daughter's speech. We are confident that as we continue to utilize the tools she's given us, our daughter's speech delay will be a distant memory in the near future!

My son needed to work with a Speech Therapist to help him practice conversations with his peers and responses to verbal directions. These skills were incredibly difficult for him due to a diagnosed Verbal Processing Delay. He became easily frustrated because he could not process verbal directions or conversations quickly. He did not interact with his peers or teachers. When Annie came to work with him, she was so patient and he was always excited to work with her! She was able to help him build confidence when conversing with others, and she modeled appropriate conversational interactions for him to practice.
Annie always looked out for his best interest and made sure he got exactly what he needed to be successful. He went from being a very shy and unhappy Preschooler to a confident 2nd Grader who loves to talk to others! Annie was a blessing to our family and especially to our son.
