Why “Play Haven”?
We are a team of speech-language pathologists with a passion for providing neurodiversity-affirming services. This means our team believes that all play is okay and safe with us. We do not try to change a child’s play based on neurotypical norms or standards. All of our sessions are child-led. We believe that connection is foundational to supporting speech and language goals. We honor each child’s unique interests and allow them to take the lead, incorporating their speech and/or language goals naturally. This makes each session meaningful and engaging.
Testimonials

I absolutely loved chatting with Jess for a parent consult. She gave me so many great ideas to increase my son's engagement in his AAC. So helpful!

Jess is so knowledgable about gestalt language. The progress we have seen in our daughter's language over the past year working with Jess has exceeded our expectations. Thank you thank you!!!!

I had a one-hour parent consultation via Zoom and it did not disappoint! I walked away with so many great tips and ideas and felt so heard and understood as I continue to advocate for my daughter's communication to grow in a way that she feels supported and seen! 11/10 would recommend setting up a consult with Jessica if you feel like you need guidance and support for your gestalt language processor!
— Jessie, Mother of 8 year old GLP
“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.”
