Every client is unique and at LLA Therapy we work with each individual to establish personalized goals, create a strong a partnership with clients as well as families, and chart a detailed roadmap to success.

Most of our clients attend weekly, 30-minute therapy sessions, but the frequency and length of the visits can be adjusted to each family’s needs. We know that engaging sessions are crucial to success,so they are customized to meet client goals through the use of fun, motivating activities.

In an effort to sustain progress and momentum, therapists provide home assignments and offer families strategies and suggestions. This empowers parents and siblings to be actively involved as part of the team.

Additional Speech Therapy Information

What We Work On:

Articulation – speech sound production & development of speech sounds
Fluency – interruption in the fluent flow of speech; stuttering
Expressive/Receptive Language – expressive language is another term for “talking”; receptive language is the ability to listen, understand, and remember
Apraxia of Speech – difficulty with oral- and verbal-motor movements
Social Language / Pragmatics – mastering the rules for social language, known as pragmatics

Specialty Therapy:

Orofacial Myofunctional – disorders of the muscles and functions of the face and mouth
Swallowing / Feeding – program designed to work with resistant eaters and their families
PROMPT – PROMPT is an acronym for ‘Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets.’ This method of speech therapy was originally created to target individuals with severe motor impairments. PROMPT provides support in a multi-sensory (with focus on tactile-kinesthetic) and dynamic way to support growth and development of speech and communication function. PROMPT aims to facilitate a client’s ability to produce speech sounds, to modify motor patterns already created for speech sounds, and to integrate motor, social-emotional, and cognitive-linguistic functions for the development of effective communication.
Orton-Gillingham – Orton-Gillingham is a structured, multi-sensory approach to teaching literacy when a child struggles with developing reading, writing, and spelling skills. LLA Therapy’s speech therapists who utilize the Orton-Gillingham approach can evaluate and design lessons and materials that are individualized to the needs of the child. Instruction focuses on strengths and weaknesses while teaching a direct and systematic understanding of language and its relationship to our reading and writing systems.

Great place, glad we found them. Been going to Medina over 2 months now and he loves Lauryn and Kyler. Wish they had more ABA therapy places available... live in Wooster and long drive everyday.

My 11 year old son has dyslexia and has made noticeable gains in working At LLA THERAPY. Katie is strong in her approach toward him and also keeps him comfortable enough to perform well. We will continue visiting both the Fairlawn and Hudson offices and recommend them highly.

My 9 year old just completed about 9 months of weekly speech sessions (due to his stuttering) with Matt Hagge at LLA and we are thrilled with the experience and results. What I thought might be a negative (what kid really wants to go to speech class?) was made very positive by Matt, and my son never hesitated or complained when we talked about class. He really enjoyed it and really took what Matt taught him to heart. His speech has been greatly improved and we definitely recommend LLA. Thank you so much!

I cannot say enough good things about LLA Therapy. My daughter was a client of Teal Simmons’ for approximately 2 years and was just released from speech therapy! She was diagnosed with Apraxia in 2015 and worked with Teal twice a week. Through Teal’s application of PROMPT therapy, my daughter had age-appropriate speech after one year. All of the staff we interacted with at LLA were absolutely wonderful. They really care about what they do and making sure your child achieves their goals.

LLA Therapy has been an excellent experience for my son as well as my family! My son always asks, "When can I go see Ms. Jeannine again, is it Monday??" He has also made huge gains in only 5 months! I would highly recommend LLA and have already shared my experience with friends looking for services!

We are so grateful for our Speech Therapist Ms.Teal. We have seen a great improvement with our sons confidence and communication abilities since we have started "Prompt" therapy. What we love the most about LLA and Ms. Teal is that Kohl feels comfortable and relaxed which has played a critical role in his progress. Thank you Ms. Teal for all you have done.

Laura Lee Hogsett

They have helped in numerous ways. Speech, OT and behavioral. I've had numerous compliments on my son's progress thanks in very large part to LLA. I would recommend LLA before I recommend our local children's hospitals, though they are good, they don't have the staff that LLA does.

Amy Furukawa

We had a great experience with Matt Hagge at LLA! Our Middle School age son was becoming very conscious of his voice, which is nasal due to a cleft palate. Matt helped him to better form his sounds and project his voice in a way that makes the unavoidable nasality less noticeable.Our son is more confident and outgoing & even took on a speaking role in the church play. Matt has the perfect personality to relate with our son, and we would recommend him to anyone needing speech therapy services!

Jessica Havalotti

LLA Therapy has been an excellent experience for our daughter. I would highly recommend LLA. Miss Grace was so amazing and I can't believe how quickly our daughter showed improvement. Thank you!
