Speech Therapy Consulting
Expert articulation therapy. Most children improve significantly. Free consultation.
No obligation. Takes 2 minutes.
By age 4, children should be understood by unfamiliar listeners nearly 100% of the time. If these sound familiar, we can help.
Your child says "wabbit" for "rabbit" or "thun" for "sun." Consistent sound substitutions are a common sign.
Words like "ca" for "cat" or "bo" for "boat." Dropping final sounds makes it harder for others to understand.
You understand your child, but teachers, grandparents, and other adults frequently ask you to translate.
Your child gets upset, shuts down, or stops trying to talk when people don't understand what they're saying.
"Ephant" for "elephant" or "nana" for "banana." Reducing syllables or sounds in longer words is common.
Other children the same age are easier to understand. You've noticed a gap that seems to be growing.
Articulation therapy is structured, encouraging, and often fun for kids. Here's what to expect.
Real families, real results.
"Our son was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 4. The first services we received was speech therapy as he was unable to express himself. We were lucky enough to have been paired with Stacey. Our son has been in speech therapy for almost a year now and has improved so much. He is always excited to go see Mrs. Stacey. We are forever grateful."— Lopez Family, Dixon, CA
"STC helped me ease my daughter into attending sessions independently instead of needing me to accompany her to every session, which has given her more confidence. My daughter looks forward to her therapy every week. We've experienced other speech therapy service providers and STC is by far our favorite. It feels like a second home."— Ann & Rose, Vacaville, CA
By age 4, your child should be understood by unfamiliar listeners about 100% of the time. If teachers, relatives, or other adults frequently can't understand your child, an evaluation is a good idea.
The most common sounds children have trouble with are R, S, L, TH, CH, and SH. Some sounds are expected to develop later than others, so the age of your child matters when determining if therapy is needed.
Most children show significant improvement within a few months of consistent therapy. Some sounds may take longer than others. We track progress closely and adjust the plan as your child improves.
Articulation disorders involve difficulty making specific sounds (like R or S). Phonological disorders involve patterns of sound errors — such as always leaving off the ends of words. Both are treatable with speech therapy.
Yes. We accept Sutter HMO, Kaiser, Cigna, Blue Shield PPO, Western Health Advantage, and North Bay Regional Center for children ages 0-3.
