We are a mobile private practice providing speech and language evaluations and treatment to children. We believe there is no greater gift than giving a child the ability to clearly and capably communicate. Every child has a voice; sometimes we just need to find it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3bfec5c2b38a372216017d/5521c162-474c-4bc8-88a8-4788a55a44d4/PETERSEN_006.jpg Home - How can speech therapy help your child? Speech-language pathologists are the professionals who provide speech therapy and we are educated and trained to be experts in communication. Speech therapy covers a wide scope of practice and can help a child learn to better play, understand, listen, talk, and socialize. Communication starts in infancy and is a lifelong practiced skill. It is never too early (or late!) to start! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3bfec5c2b38a372216017d/1599095034909-55PMNMV3LUHSAL68BBTI/pink_dots.png Home https://www.speech-first.com/about daily 0.75 2025-04-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3bfec5c2b38a372216017d/0d8853c0-0c45-4149-8bd1-5e900a125b21/PETERSEN_031.jpg About - Lindsay E. Petersen, M.A. CCC-SLP/L I’m Lindsay Petersen, a Pennsylvania State licensed and board-certified Speech-Language Pathologist who provides private, in-home/school speech therapy to the greater Philadelphia region. I have over 15 years of clinical experience working with children in a variety of settings.
