Expert Help for Your Child's Communication Challenges

Compassionate, evidence-based speech therapy for children in Dixon and surrounding areas. We help kids find their voice.

If you're worried about your child's speech or language development, you're not alone. Many parents notice their child struggling to communicate and wonder if they should wait or seek help.

Early intervention makes a significant difference. The sooner speech challenges are addressed, the better the outcomes for your child's communication, confidence, and academic success.

At Speech Therapy Consulting, we specialize in pediatric speech and language disorders. We create individualized therapy plans that meet your child exactly where they are—and help them reach their full potential.

Conditions We Treat

Comprehensive speech and language services for children of all ages.

Late Talkers & Early Language Delays

Your toddler isn't saying as many words as other kids their age, or they're not putting words together yet. Early language intervention helps children catch up quickly during this critical developmental window.

Parents Often Notice:
  • Not talking by age 2
  • Limited vocabulary
  • Not combining words
  • Hard to understand

Articulation & Speech Sound Disorders

Your child struggles to pronounce certain sounds or substitute sounds ("wabbit" for "rabbit"). Speech therapy helps children master correct sound production so they can be clearly understood.

Common Signs:
  • Substituting sounds
  • Leaving off sounds
  • Difficult to understand
  • Frustration communicating

Expressive & Receptive Language Delays

Your child has trouble using words to express themselves (expressive) or understanding what others say (receptive). Language therapy builds vocabulary, grammar, and comprehension skills.

You Might Notice:
  • Short sentences
  • Limited vocabulary
  • Doesn't follow directions
  • Struggles to answer questions

Autism & Social Communication

Children with autism often need support with social communication, pragmatic language (conversation skills), and understanding nonverbal cues. We use evidence-based approaches tailored to each child's unique needs.

We Help With:
  • Social skills
  • Eye contact
  • Turn-taking
  • Understanding emotions

Stuttering & Fluency Disorders

Your child repeats sounds or words, gets stuck on sounds, or avoids speaking because of stuttering. Fluency therapy helps children speak more smoothly and build confidence in communication.

  • Repeating sounds/words
  • Prolonging sounds
  • Blocks or pauses
  • Avoiding talking

Childhood Apraxia of Speech

Your child knows what they want to say but has trouble coordinating the mouth movements to say it. Apraxia requires specialized, intensive therapy to help the brain and mouth work together.

Key Indicators:
  • Inconsistent errors
  • Difficulty imitating
  • Groping for sounds
  • Slow progress

Auditory Processing Disorders

Your child's hearing is fine, but they struggle to process and make sense of what they hear. Therapy focuses on improving listening skills, following directions, and filtering background noise.

Common Struggles:
  • Misunderstands directions
  • Asks "what?" often
  • Trouble in noisy places
  • Forgets what they heard
Learn More

Literacy & Phonemic Awareness

Your child struggles with the foundational skills needed for reading and writing. We work on sound awareness, rhyming, blending, and other pre-reading and reading skills.

Warning Signs:
  • Can't rhyme
  • Trouble with letter sounds
  • Difficulty sounding out words
  • Reading below grade level

  • Detailed reports
  • IEP recommendations

What Parents Say

Real experiences from families we've served.

My son Callan has been a client at Speech Therapy Consulting, Inc. for one year. Callan's speech has improved greatly under Melony's care. He has made wonderful progress and seems to enjoy attending his weekly speech session. Callan has made quicker progress with Melony than any other speech therapist we have had in the past 3 years.

Danielle R.

At age two, our son was diagnosed with Autism with Language Impairment. Stacey has worked with him for over a year and a half now and we've noticed an improvement in his speech ever since his first session with her. We make the commute to see Stacey every week and it is always worth our time when we see the progress our son is making.

The Layon Family

Our daughter has been seeing Melony for over a year for both speech and language delays. We've seen tremendous growth in her ability to communicate. Melony makes therapy fun and engaging, and our daughter actually looks forward to her sessions. We're so grateful for the progress she's made!

Common Questions

If your child is behind other children their age in talking, difficult to understand, struggles to follow directions, avoids speaking, or has been diagnosed with a developmental delay, an evaluation can help. When in doubt, it's better to assess early—early intervention leads to better outcomes.
There's no "too young" for speech therapy. Children as young as 18 months can benefit from early intervention services. The earlier we address communication challenges, the better the outcomes. We also work with school-age children and teens.
Every child is different. Some children make rapid progress in a few months, while others need ongoing support for a year or more. We set clear goals and track progress regularly. The frequency and duration of therapy depend on your child's specific needs and how quickly they progress.
Yes. We provide comprehensive speech and language evaluations to assess your child's communication skills across multiple areas: articulation, language (expressive and receptive), fluency, voice, and pragmatic/social language. We also offer Independent Educational Evaluations (IEE) for school purposes.
