Bring Speech Home

Speech therapy is shown to be most effective in a natural, trusting environment.

 

Research supports the increased effectiveness of intervention taking place in the child’s natural environment, rather than a clinic, which includes home, school, and the community. “Authentic interactions that are interesting and fun result in more frequent and longer engagement, with subsequent positive outcomes for the child and family.”

 

 Upword Speech Therapy is a small, local business dedicated to supporting organizations that help our community members thrive.

A portion of our proceeds are donated to the Maui wildfire relief efforts:

About Upword Speech Therapy

Ryanne.jpeg

Upword Speech Therapy is a woman-owned practice dedicated to providing superior speech and language therapy services to Hawaii and California’s youngest residents.  Therapy is administered at home, at school, or in the community in order to keep scheduling simple and convenient. 

We are structured upon a family-oriented and relationship-based foundation. Your child is not just another ‘client’ and our time together is not just another ‘transaction.’ The first therapy objective is always to get to know your youngster and earn their trust, respect, and thumbs-up approval. Your child’s unique personality, likes and dislikes, and strengths and needs are not only considered, but celebrated, and treatment is tailored specifically to them. 

As the saying goes, “it takes a village…” This rings true when helping your child succeed, which is why learning does not stop when the session is over. Efficient, straight-forward strategies and home-programming activities are provided to family members, caregivers, educators, and other service providers to promote skill development across all learning environments and to achieve results in an optimal amount of time.
