Golden Lotus Therapy | Pediatric Speech Therapy
Speech and Language Services
At Golden Lotus Therapy, we provide personalized speech-language services designed to help each child reach their full communication potential. Our therapy sessions are tailored to meet each child's unique needs. We also support families by offering guidance through the IEP process to ensure their voices are heard and their child receives the services they deserve.
Before beginning therapy, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation to gain a deeper understanding of your child’s strengths and areas of need.
Evaluations help to identify:
- Delays in speech sound development
- Challenges with understanding or using language
- Potential therapy targets
Golden Lotus Therapy only offers in-person evaluations.
Support for children who are difficult to understand or who have trouble producing speech sounds correctly. Therapy focuses on improving clarity and confidence so others can understand your child more easily.
If your child has difficulty producing certain sounds or being understood, we offer therapy to address:
- Sound errors (e.g., "wabbit" for "rabbit", leaving off the ends of words, etc.)
- Intelligibility concerns
Receptive Language
Support for understanding directions, answering questions, and processing language used at home and in the classroom.
- Following directions
- Answering questions accurately
- Understanding new vocabulary
- Concepts (like size, time, or location)
Expressive Language
Helping children use words, sentences, and storytelling to communicate ideas, wants, and feelings.
- Using vocabulary
- Forming complete or grammatically correct sentences
- Sharing thoughts

A one-time meeting for parents who have concerns about their child’s speech or language development. During this visit, we discuss your child’s communication skills, answer questions, and determine whether a comprehensive speech and language evaluation is recommended.
This service does not replace a full evaluation but can help families understand next steps.
We support families navigating the special education process with:
- Review of your child’s IEP or school evaluation
- Clarification of goals and services
- Attendance at IEP meetings (virtual only)
* These services are not covered by insurance
Who We Serve
We work with children ages 3–12 who may:
- Be difficult to understand with unfamiliar listeners
- Have a limited vocabulary or short sentences
- Struggle to understand and follow directions
- Experience frustration when communicating
Our clinic is best suited for children who can participate in structured speech therapy sessions with minimal behavioral support.
If your child has more complex behavioral or medical needs, we would be happy to recommend local providers who specialize in those areas to ensure they receive the best care possible.
Ready to Get Started?
Most families begin services after receiving a referral from their child’s pediatrician. Parents may also request a referral or self-refer. We can guide you through the next steps.
