Our goal is simple:
Make scheduling and participation easier.
“Lauren and Samantha go above and beyond to make sure our son can meet his speech goals. We love that they’re able to come to Ian’s school and that we get notes after each session. That has helped us make sure that we are also encouraging him and practicing at home. Ian has made incredible progress in just two months and we could not be happier and more thankful to have found Playful Paths. 🙏🏼”
What does a therapy session look like?
Do you come to us?
Yes. We are a mobile practice, meaning therapy happens wherever is most convenient and best suited for your child. We offer therapy sessions throughout Wesley Chapel, Land o Lakes and the surrounding area.
Is therapy part of a larger strategy?
Your therapist will prepare your child’s session in advance so that no time is wasted. Each speech therapy session will be tied to your child’s plan of care, which will be created by our therapy director after your initial evaluation. (If you have a current speech evaluation we can use that one).
How long are sessions?
Sessions are 60 minutes, giving your child enough time to focus on their current goals. We think that 60 minutes creates enough time to get back on track if a bathroom or snack break is needed. Often in the clinic setting sessions are 30 minutes, and we feel this is not enough time to get settled in and focus on learning.
“Are you just playing with my child?”
We get asked this question frequently, and the answer is Yes! (and no). Our staff are trained in a child-led, play based approach focusing on what most motivates your child to participate in and enjoy each session. We 100% stand behind this form of speech therapy and have the results to back it up.
Does therapy end after the session is over?
After your child’s speech therapy session, we will send you notes about what was worked on, a weekly win and give you some exercises to work on between sessions.

How it works
Schedule a phone consultation
Schedule a free 15 minute phone call where we will answer your questions, address any concerns you may have, and if a speech evaluation is needed we will schedule that at a time that is convenient for you.
In Person Evaluation (if needed)
We will do a comprehensive speech and language evaluation to determine if speech therapy is truly needed. This evaluation is done in person and in an ideal and natural environment to truly test your child’s development.
In person therapy begins
