Pediatric Speech Therapy at CTSC
Communication skills can affect all aspects of daily life including expressing daily wants and needs, developing social skills, and understanding concepts in school. Our pediatric speech-language pathologists are experts in helping children who are struggling to speak or to be understood when speaking or do not seem to understand/process directions or understand daily routines. The CTSC speech team prides themselves on taking a holistic approach to treatment, understanding the needs of child and family then providing support to meet those unique needs.
PLAY BASED THERAPY MODEL
Play is the most essential “daily work” of childhood and it’s a natural medium for achieving goals and prompting kids to work toward goals that might be lofty or hard to achieve.
USING BEST PRACTICE TREATMENT
All of the treatment models used by our therapists are considered Evidence Based Best Practice treatments by the US Surgeon General and by the American Medical Association.
POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT
Our therapists use positive reinforcement during sessions to motivate and make therapy fun! When a task or command is completed appropriately the action is followed by something valued; that positive moment is now more likely to be repeated.
TELEHEALTH/IN-PERSON SESSIONS
We understand that there will be times when a family can’t make it to our Northglenn, CO office for treatment due to any number of life events. In these moments, know that we proudly provide Telehealth Therapy and these virtual visits are considered appropriate and effective by the American Medical Association.

Our Process
step 01
Phone Consult
Complimentary phone consultations are designed to understand more about your child’s unique situation and determine if they would benefit from a comprehensive evaluation.
step 02
Evaluation
Your child will complete a comprehensive evaluation that involves standardized testing, questionnaire, observation and a thorough review of your case history with a caregiver or parent present.
step 03
Recommendations
Once the assessment is complete, we will go over findings and provide recommendations for on-going therapy and answer any questions you may have.
step 04
Therapy
Treatment is designed to meet your child where they are at today and then follow a designed care plan to achieve the goals needed to “graduate” and complete therapy. Services can be provided in-home for Early Intervention clients or at our convenient Northglenn, CO office location for all others.
step 05
Progress Check Ups
We believe that regular communication regarding your child’s progress is important throughout the therapeutic process to keep everyone updated on progress and ensure carryover at home. Our therapists will provide a brief update on how the session went after each appointment and are always available via email or phone to discuss any questions you may have.
step 06
Graduate from Services
Once your child has mastered all of their therapy goals and they are functioning at their appropriate age level, your child will “Graduate” from services at CTSC and be discharged. Your child will have blossomed and they will move forward and thrive! We will always be available in the future for any concerns that may arise with your child - you are now part of the CTSC family.
