O’Leary Speech Therapy is a pediatric speech and language and occupational therapy practice that provides in-home and virtual services. Therapy is play-based, and there is an emphasis on family and caregiver education, allowing for the carryover of learned skills.

At O’Leary Speech Therapy, we provide evidence-based therapy designed to help children be confident communicators. It is our goal to provide children with a toolbox of communication skills in order to perform and participate in life and the world around them. We embrace and encourage family, caregiver, and school participation in the therapy process and follow the child’s lead when determining therapy activities. 

Therapy is play-based and provided in the child's naturalistic environment. With play-based therapy, children are able to take the lead and create connections and memories that extend beyond the therapy session. During play, children are intrinsically motivated. The therapist works to incorporate required targets and memorable episodes to promote use carryover of learned skills.

The length of the therapy session is established after an initial evaluation. Typically, the first 45 minutes are dedicated working directly with the child, focusing on their needs and progress. The remaining time is reserved for sharing observations and strategies with the parent or caregiver, ensuring they have the tools necessary to support the child's development at home.
