Arlington Heights, Mount Prospect, Rolling Meadows, and Palatine
Welcome to Bright Start Bilingual Therapies!
As a bilingual speech language pathologist, I believe that every child has thoughts and ideas that the world needs to hear. I specialize in a bilingual, family-centered approach that empowers children to connect meaningfully with their world. By engaging families in the therapeutic process, we create a supportive environment that nurtures language development/healthy eating practices and fosters social interaction. With a focus in early intervention, I work with families to build strong foundational skills specialized to your culture, family system, and values.
Evaluation and Therapy Services
Speech Sounds
Is it difficult to understand your child when they speak? Speech sound therapy focuses on improving the production of sounds in a way that allows them to be understood and feel confident sharing their ideas! This therapy combines practicing specific sounds and engaging in fun and motivating activities that capitalize on your child's interests.
Language Therapy
Language therapy can help your child use a variety of different words, gestures, and phrases in order to advocate for their wants and needs. An individualized, play based approach to language therapy helps children communicate authentically, and can help them carry over these skills to educational environments.
Feeding Therapy
Sensory-based feeding therapy is a specialized approach designed to help children who experience difficulties with eating a variety of foods and textures. This therapy focuses on the sensory experiences involved in mealtime, addressing the child's ability to tolerate and become accustomed to textures and tastes that may impact child's willingness to eat foods that give them the nutrients they need.
