We have so many patients at Speech Pathway who have long journeys that require incredibly hard work from their entire family and we want to start recognizing them for the effort they put in daily! Each month we’ll be highlighting a few of our patients who have shown so much improvement throughout their marathon in speech therapy. See our amazing patients below!
Hudson is an awesome eleven year old that has been in therapy for approximately two years and his articulation has improved immensely! He works so hard, and welcomes anyone and everyone to work with him. Hudson’s dad noted that is, simply, awesome! Miss Danielle couldn’t agree more. “Hudson has the best sense of humor and is always making me laugh. He’s super bright and is the best at UNO. He can make super neat play-doh sculptures as well. He’s been in speech therapy a long time, but he is ALWAYS willing to try new things!” We’re so grateful that we get to be a part of Hudson’s journey! Way to go, dude!
We have a few spots left for all of our camps this summer! We’re excited to see what the summer holds for Speech Spot, Kid Connect, and Intense Academy! Head over to our Camp Communicate page to check out what weeks we still have available. We’d love to have you join us for some summer fun! If you are not interested in attending camps but know someone who is and would benefit from financial support, check out our option to gift a camp!
Intense Academy is an intensive camp focused on improving oral-motor planning and/or articulation skills. Camp is offered for 2 weeks each session, campers are required to attend both weeks of camp. Camp will also target behavioral intervention as it pertains to the child’s ability to effectively participate in group activities and comply with instructions as well as improving communication behaviors. The camp will typically run for three hours each day M-F and will be individualized to what each child needs. Campers will participate in individual, small group, and large group sessions to target communication goals and comply with instructions to improve the ability to participate in joint/group activities. The focus will be to decrease frustration while increasing communication and social skills. Group parent/caregiver training and question/answer sessions will also be provided for carryover of skills within the home program or coordination of services with the child’s private therapists. Camp generally has a one to one ratio of adults to children. Staff includes Speech-Language Pathologists, Speech-Language Pathology Assistants, graduate student interns, and undergraduate student volunteers. Camps will also have the guidance of a Board Certified Behavioral Analyst and/or a Registered Behavior Technician to assist staff with facilitation of social and communication targets. Children generally make marked progress during this intense camp, and past data has shown that the primary change has been that speech therapy and home programs are more effective throughout the coming year after this intensive intervention and training.
Speech Spot is focused on providing intervention at a more intense rate than what your child would receive in a typical week of speech therapy. Campers will be provided two individual speech session per day, targeting goals that are important for their communicative success, as well as multiple group sessions throughout the day. Camp will generally have a ratio of one adult to two campers. Staff includes Speech-Language Pathologists, Speech-Language Pathology Assistants, graduate student interns, and undergraduate student volunteers. Speech Spot is open to any families excited to take advantage of summer vacation to make a significant change in their child’s speech and language skills! Think Speech Spot is the camp for you? We’d love to help your child meet their full potential through individualized and group therapy!
Kid Connect focuses on primarily group intervention with 2 individual sessions per week. Since we’ve already developed a great program with our yearly social groups, why not continue them through the summer? With ratios of one adult to three campers, our Speech-Language Pathologists, Speech-Language Pathology Assistants, graduate student interns, and undergraduate student volunteers are skilled in targeting social communication and language development through group games, activities, and intervention methods. Kid Connect is a place where your child can belong; they can find friends, be themselves, and work on interacting with others in a safe environment under the supervision of professionals skilled in facilitating social communication. We’d love to bring this connection into your lives!

NO! If you have a copy of their current care plan, we’d love to see it. If you don’t have a copy, no worries! We will talk with you before you begin our programs at Speech Pathway.

All of our staff is highly trained in communication and behavior as well as facilitating social interactions. Our staff will help your child grow in a safe, encouraging environment while forming relationships, building confidence, and having fun!
This is a great question and one we can only answer by getting to know your child a little better. When you fill out your application, check the boxes to let us know what camps you may be interested in. The more information you give us on the application, the better able we are to find the right fit for your child. Intense Academy offers intensive intervention to facilitate functional communication. Speech Spot is our camp for less intense intervention, but those who still need some extra work on speech and language development. Kid Connect is an extension of our groups program that focuses on social communication and relationship-building. If you’re still unsure, fill out our application with the most information possible and we can help guide you through the process!
At this time we cannot take insurance for our programs.

Camp Communicate consists of both individual and group interventions and is requires enrollment for an entire session at a time (one week for Speech Spot or Kid Connect and 2 weeks for Intense Academy). Summer Slam involves individual speech therapy sessions only but is intense, with multiple sessions throughout the week over multiple weeks on an individual basis.

At Speech Pathway, every day is a celebration of our friends and their families we are privileged to serve. However, this month shone a spotlight on the diverse range of abilities and challenges that characterize each unique individual impacted by autism. In our pediatric speech and language clinic, nestled among informative posters and well-stocked shelves, we honored this significant period with a spirit of openness and dedication.
Within our clinic, each day is marked by a commitment to learning and exploration. Children enter with excitement, as they embark on personal quests to master communication skills. Here, we recognize that autism encompasses a spectrum of talents and obstacles, with each child representing a distinct and valuable journey.
Our role at Speech Pathway is deeply intertwined with the narratives of these exceptional individuals. From the initial steps in language development to the refinement of fluent communication, we witness the transformative power of effective communication. For children with autism, communication serves as both a challenge and a pathway to connection and understanding. Our approach extends beyond teaching language mechanics; it encompasses fostering confidence, building social connections, and celebrating the uniqueness of every voice.
As we reflect on the achievements of this past month, we not only acknowledge milestones but also the resilience and determination that define our collective journey. This period served as a reminder that awareness is more than knowledge; it embodies empathy and acceptance. Through our ongoing dedication to learning and collaboration, we honor the diverse experiences within the autism community and uphold the values of inclusivity and support in our work and communities
We reached out to the parents of some of our favorite friends and asked them to tell us something they wish everyone knew about their child; this is what they had to say:
“One thing I wish people knew about my child is that, despite her challenges in social communication and behavior, she enthusiastically pursues learning new skills and hobbies just like any other kids such as learning to play piano, roller skate, and hoverboard etc. She dedicates her efforts to learn these things and shows resilience in overcoming obstacles encountered along the way. Way to go, Anna!
We admire Anna and her willingness to try new things, that’s a difficult skill for a lot of us!
“One thing I wish people knew about Gabriel is that he is one of the most compassionate and hard working kids I know. Gabriel has been through so much in his 6 years of life and even though he’s been through some hard things his positive attitude and compassionate spirit never waivers. Gabriel genuinely cares so much about other people. His love and compassion run so big with everyone he meets. We are so blessed the Lord gave us Gabriel!”
We feel equally as blessed that we get to be a small part of Gabriel’s life!

Jyn Delilah Mingle joined the world on March 27, 2024 at 6 pounds, 7 ounces, and 19 inches long. Miss Ashton and her husband, Matthew, were so excited to welcome their sweet bundle of joy into their family!

You Ask We Answer is a place you can come to find answers to all the burning questions you, as a parent, may have about speech, language, feeding or Speech Pathway in general- straight from the horses mouth! Or, in our case, the minds of our brilliant, yet humble, experts in communication.
Why can’t I wait in the lobby while my child is in speech therapy?
Observing that our building lacks waiting areas for parents during their child’s therapy sessions, you may wonder about this deliberate design choice. This decision reflects our commitment to respecting the needs of our patients, particularly those who struggle with transitions, sensory sensitivities, and regulation challenges. Unfamiliar faces, unexpected sounds, and strong odors can significantly disrupt their therapeutic environment. Our foremost priority is to alleviate any additional stress for families who entrust us with their most precious treasures. Furthermore, we prioritize privacy for families who may need to discuss sensitive information with our receptionist, ensuring a confidential and supportive atmosphere.
We want everyone to know that parents and caregivers are always welcomed to join the session. We believe that involving families in the therapy process fosters collaboration and enhances the overall experience for our young patients.
