Connecting the Dots, Bridging the Gap


At Bridging the Gap Speech & Language Services, we make speech, language, and educational support accessible through thoughtful, individualized care and meaningful collaboration. Our work begins with understanding the whole child—listening to families, identifying strengths, and completing comprehensive evaluations to guide next steps.
From there, we develop individualized goals that reflect each child’s needs and environment. Support may include direct therapy, consultation, or coaching for families and educators, along with practical strategies and resources that promote carryover at home and in educational settings. By working together, we connect therapy to everyday life—creating support that is purposeful, effective, and sustainable.

Early Intervention
Our team strongly believes in Early Intervention as research proves that a strong foundation is the key to a child's developmental and academic success. Being that parents are a child's first teachers, we aim to provide a team-based therapy approach.
School-Aged Speech & Language Disorders
Our team provides comprehensive assessments and interventions to address all aspects of speech and language disorders, including articulation. phonological processes, receptive and expressive language, grammar, vocabulary, and social communication.
Parent-Based Interventions
Our team recognizes the significant role that parents play in supporting their child’s development, which is why we offer parent-based interventions to ensure that our therapy is fully integrated into the child’s daily life.

Finding the right speech therapist can be an overwhelming journey, but Barbie has been a true blessing to our family. From day one, her attention to detail and genuine patience have stood out. She doesn't just provide a service, she truly cares for our daughter’s growth and well being. Barbie and her team treat us like family, providing a level of support that goes far beyond the therapy room. We couldn’t be more grateful for the progress our daughter has made, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Barbie and her center to any family seeking exceptional care.
