Behind the name.
The ‘A to B’ in A to B Speech Therapy
The A and B are dedicated to my little blooms whom I love with all of my heart!
Our Mission:
For your littles: We aim to provide evidence-based therapy to help your littles to bloom into all that they can be ( the blooms in Azaria Blooms) and take the next small step forward. In our practice, we focus on zooming into where the child is (step A) so that we can meet them where they are and move them to that next step (step B). Continuing to focus on taking many small steps forward ultimately leads to finishing the race! (the A to B in our name)
For you: We are here to be your Avenue to Beginning (A to B). Sometimes taking the first step and beginning the journey is the hardest part. We are here to teach you how to start supporting speech and language at home by incorporating strategies into the routines that you are already doing with your little and meeting you where you are at.

Your littles are lucky to have you. We are here to help!
Our Core Components.
Family-Centered
A foundation of A to B Speech is that we are wholeheartedly dedicated to working around what your priorities are. One of the reasons that our founder opened the practice was to be able to work more closely with families and really coach them to the “be the SLP” at home with their little. We want to empower you with simple steps that help you feel more confident in supporting your little.
Evidence- Based
We are dedicated to utilizing therapy methods that are based in strong evidence. We use this base of knowledge to craft your intervention plan and then do our best to break down the information in easy-to-digest ways so that you understand the ‘why’ behind what we are doing with your little! Want to learn more? Head over to the blog for strategies and ideas!
Play-Based Therapy
We believe that having fun and playing is your child’s most important job! We always aim to create child-led, interest led therapy activities that incorporate play and fun! With older littles, we love to incorporate your child’s interests into the materials we use and add movement and excitement into our sessions. Children learn best when they are engaged and having fun…this is our mission for them!
