Speech Bee vendors with San Diego Regional Center to provide early intervention speech therapy services to children under 3. Our speech-language pathologists are experts in providing supportive and family-centered speech therapy services using a variety of approaches, including caregiver coaching, routines-based and play-based intervention.

At Speech Bee we encourage families and professionals to use a total communication approach. This means honoring all methods a child may use to communicate, whether through speech, gestures, or symbols. We specialize in AAC assessment, therapy, coaching, and consultation.

Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is difficulty with planning and executing the motor movements necessary for speech. This rare disorder requires specialized treatment from an experienced speech-language pathologist. At Speech Bee, we use research-supported techniques to treat CAS while working with families to support overall communication development.
