Speech therapy coaching for parents
A licensed speech-language pathologist coaches you in real time, so your child gets language practice all day and not only in a weekly session.
You talk to your child more than any therapist will
That is why our speech program is built around you.
Traditional telehealth tries to copy in-person therapy through a screen, and many children simply don’t attend to it. Coaching is different. Our licensed SLP works with you live, helping you build language into meals, play, bath time and bedtime.
- Understand your child’s communication style
- Learn simple strategies you can use the same day
- Handle frustration, meltdowns and unclear communication
- Adjust routines so your child feels successful
Who it helps
Our speech-language pathologist works with early language and first words, autism, ADHD, literacy, executive functioning, social skills, and receptive and expressive language delays.
“We are so thankful for OT Park! My son suffered with emotional regulation and memorization and within a number of sessions, we received practical tips for us to implement at home. Ever since, there’s been a significant increase in his confidence. Best of all, Dr. Hiral conducted the “therapy” using play. My son looked forward to it every time.”

What is a speech therapy coach?
A speech therapy coach is a licensed speech-language pathologist who coaches you, the parent, in real time. You learn how to model words, expand language, read your child’s cues and respond in the most supportive way.
Why coach the parent instead of the child?
A speech therapist sees your child for 30 to 60 minutes a week. You talk with your child all day, every day. When you learn the strategies, your child gets hundreds of practice opportunities daily.
Do you also provide direct speech work?
Yes. If your child needs oral-motor, feeding or physical speech work, we provide that too.
