At AffirmAbilities, we provide personalized, in-home speech, language, and feeding therapy. Our therapy services are relationships based and neurodiversity affirming. This approach focuses on connection, acceptance, and building on each child’s unique strengths. We encourage children to build confidence, strengthen connections, and grow communication at their own pace. Whether it’s first words, first foods, or ongoing challenges with communication and mealtimes, we’re here to support your family every step of the way.

Our mission

At AffirmAbilities Pediatric Therapy, our mission is to nurture each child’s communication and feeding journey by celebrating their unique strengths. We believe therapy should feel natural, empowering, and joyful. Through play-based, family-centered care, we help little ones grow confidence—one word, one bite, and one smile at a time.
