About Premier Speech Therapy LLC

Our Mission

We are a family centered clinical private practice. Our Mission is to provide excellent speech, language, and dysphasia services to clients from birth through adulthood.

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is based upon family centered intervention. Family members have the most involvement with our patients, and what they tell us is extremely valuable. Information gathered will impact therapy planning, goals addressed, and will help to facilitate vital carryover of learned skills to other environments. Our goal is to collaborate with the primary care or referring physician, as well as school teachers (if applicable) and other professionals in order to establish a comprehensive therapy approach and increased rate of success.
