Speech Therapy for Children
Personalized, play-based speech therapy to help your child communicate with confidence. Serving Dallas, TX and online nationwide.
Helping Children Find Their Voice
Every child develops at their own pace, but when speech or language challenges arise, early intervention can make a significant difference. At Bloom Myofunctional & Speech Therapy, we provide individualized pediatric speech therapy that meets your child where they are and helps them build the communication skills they need to thrive.
Laura Friedman uses a combination of evidence-based approaches — including PROMPT therapy, DTTC, and the Nancy Kaufman Apraxia System — tailored to each child's unique strengths and challenges. Sessions are play-based, engaging, and designed to feel natural for your child.
Conditions We Treat
Speech & Language Milestones
While every child develops differently, these general milestones can help you identify whether your child may benefit from a speech evaluation:
First words (mama, dada), responds to name, uses gestures like pointing and waving
At least 20 words, follows simple directions, points to body parts when asked
50+ words, combines two words (more milk, daddy go), understood ~50% by strangers
3–4 word sentences, asks questions, understood ~75% by strangers
Tells simple stories, uses 4–5 word sentences, understood ~90% by strangers
Our Approach to Pediatric Therapy
We believe therapy should be engaging and meaningful for your child. Each treatment plan is built around your child's interests, learning style, and specific goals. Parents are active participants — we equip you with strategies and activities to reinforce progress at home, because research shows that consistent practice between sessions leads to faster improvement.
