Helping children build confidence and communication through play.

Every child deserves to feel heard.

At Words at Play Speech & Language Therapy, we work closely with children and families to foster communication through play, understanding, and connection. Based in Queens, NY, we provide speech therapy for toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children, supporting the development of expressive language, receptive language, articulation, social skills, and more. Together, we help children grow in their ability to express themselves confidently and meaningfully.
