ABOUT

ABOUT HEAD AND HEART SPEECH

OUR MISSION

At Head and Heart Speech, we are dedicated to helping individuals of all ages maximize their communication potential. Our team is committed to providing personalized, effective and efficient therapy to support our clients' speech and language needs.

FUNCTIONAL, HOME-BASED THERAPY TO MEET GOALS FASTER

We provide a comprehensive assessment to collect baseline data and formulate a plan of care.  One of our core tenets is including family, caregivers, teachers and other providers as much as is appropriate in order to support reaching goals as fast as possible.

​

OUR EXPERIENCE

The founder, Rachael Defelice, M.S., CCC-SLP, has nearly ten years experience as a speech-language pathologist with an additional background in elementary education.

AREAS OF SPECIALTY

We serve clients across the lifespan, but many of our therapists specialize in the pediatric population in the areas of language delay, early intervention, fluency/stuttering, articulation, and apraxia.

"We had such a wonderful experience with Head and Heart Speech Therapy. Rachael made a huge difference in my daughter's speech, and we are so grateful for the progress we've seen.  Rachael is not only extremely skilled and professional, but also incredibly kind and personable.  She always created a warm and welcoming environment and my daughter truly looked forward to her visits.  Rachael's encouragement and thoughtful approach helped build my daughter's confidence.  She gave our daughter tools that will benefit her for years to come.  I highly recommend!
