  • Our speech-language pathologists (SLPs) assess, diagnose, and treat communication and feeding/swallowing disorders. This includes difficulties with speech sounds, language, voice, fluency (stuttering), social communication, oral-motor/feeding skills, and Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC).

  • Kiddo Communication offers wonderful opportunities for Teletherapy Services across all age ranges.

    Teletherapy is an opportunity to coach families within the child’s natural environment.

    We utilize dynamic and static platforms for effective treatment across all ages, and cater the session to the goals and needs of the family.

    Telepractice is not a new kind of therapy, just a different service delivery model, especially for older children with busy schedules filled with extracurricular activities, and for kids who love the idea of being on a computer too.

  • We are licensed, certified, and qualified to treat across the entire lifespan, with a primary focus between birth and young adults.

  • Please call us at 973-493-9598 or email us at:

  • Session durations are 30 minutes, 45 minutes, and 60 minutes. Frequency of sessions typically occurs 2x per week for continuity, carryover, and effectiveness of services. We also offer consultative services.

  • While we do not accept insurance, we provide all of the information for you to submit invoices for reimbursement to your insurance company.
