WELCOME
to Unity Speech Therapy
We are a boutique, mobile therapy practice that works alongside parents and caregivers to provide speech and language therapy. At Unity Speech Therapy, we take a child-focused and neurodiversity-affirming approach to speech therapy, using each child’s strengths and interests to guide our sessions. Caregiver involvement is the key to our therapy process, so we empower the whole family with tools and strategies that foster lasting success. Let’s unite to help your child live a life of choice and connection!
OUR mission
We combine our clinical expertise with the expertise of caregivers in order to help children live joyful lives and reach their fullest potential. We are dedicated to providing therapy services that affirm autistic identity and support neurodivergent communication differences.
The heart of our success comes from strong relationships with the families that we serve. We are committed to partnering with caregivers and other professionals to make a great impact.
OUR approach
By building on each child’s strengths and embedding therapy activities into daily life, our clients experience long-lasting communication and feeding success. Caregivers are a vital part of the therapy team, so we offer coaching services to empower the whole family.
We believe that all children can learn when they are regulated, and most children learn best through play. Our sessions address each child’s sensory and motor needs while incorporating their personal interests.
OUR specialties
Our speech and language therapy services account for each child’s unique strengths, sensory needs, and communication challenges. We use evidence-based methods like PROMPT and DTTC to support speech, as well as the Natural Language Acquisition Framework and DIR Floortime approaches to promote language and social skills.
We specialize in holistically supporting speech sound development, motor speech coordination, early language skills, gestalt language processing, AAC communication, and social wellness.
MEET KATE
Kate French, M.S., CCC-SLP
Owner, Speech-Language Pathologist
I am a neurodiversity-affirming speech therapist with a passion for serving children and their families. I look at each child with love and acceptance of their individual strengths and challenges, and I view caregivers as the experts on their child. My clients’ interests, problems, life stressors, hobbies, and successes all matter to me, and I believe that therapy is most successful when caregivers and therapists work together.
I created Unity Speech Therapy to deliver high-quality therapy services that meet each family where they’re at—whether that means speech therapy at their kitchen table or language therapy at their local playground. After completing a variety of neurodiversity-affirming courses, I am proud to offer therapy services that are centered on building connections and relationships with the children and families I serve. I support my clients’ diverse regulation and sensory needs as they try new, hard things, and I teach them in the way that they learn best. I look forward to working with your family!
getting started
STEP ONE
Reach out to your child’s primary care physician to request a prescription for speech-language evaluation and therapy. Once we receive this referral, you will gain access to our intake paperwork and schedule your child’s first appointment.
STEP TWO
We will complete an evaluation to gain a holistic picture of your child's speech and language. We will meet with you to explain our findings and recommendations, answer any questions you may have, and create therapy goals.
