Today we’re celebrating International Women’s Day and the women behind TALK!
20 years ago, Amy and Amber took a leap and started something special. What began as a vision to support children through speech and language services slowly grew into something even bigger — evolving over the years with the addition of TALK ABA so more children and families could receive the support they need.
Because of their dedication, heart, and belief in what’s possible for every child, TALK has grown into the community it is today.
This week we began celebrating TALK’s 20th birthday, and it feels like the perfect moment to recognize the women who started it all. Not only are they incredible leaders, they are also dually certified Speech-Language Pathologists and Board Certified Behavior Analysts, bringing deep knowledge and compassion to the work they do every day.
Twenty years of supporting families.
Twenty years of helping children find their voices.
Twenty years of a dream that kept growing.
At TALK, we believe growth happens everywhere — even in the ocean!
Surf Day with gives our clients the chance to experience something powerful: success in a brand new environment, surrounded by support.
With 1:1 trained volunteers and a fully structured camp model, this day is about more than waves. It’s about courage. Social connection. Independence. Joy.
Only 12 spots available (TALK clients only!)

Amber and Amy started The TALK Team to allow for the growth and potential of ourselves as therapists and our clients as communicators. We are dually certified as speech language pathologists and board certified behavior analysts. The blend of these two approaches has taught us a variety of ways to teach a vast amount of skills. We have had the opportunity to train 9 AMAZING therapists with the techniques that we have learned over the last 20 years along with the highly individualized skills that each has brought to TALK.
We have learned the value not only of communication itself, but thinking outside of the box to create a comprehensive, play based approach that is individualized for each child that we meet. We hold paramount that the more fun we have, the more fun our clients will have, and the more successful they will become. So let’s learn to have more fun!!
This is a place where you will find ideas and inspiration. We firmly believe that every child can communicate and flourish, when provided with the right environment. We believe that parents are their child’s first and most important teacher and we are dedicated to providing tools and ideas to help you along your journey. Every child has the capability to learn and grow and become a functional communicator! Communication is what allows us to access our environment. It is the most important skill that a child can learn. Without communication, all other skills become less functional. Children may have a ton of information and ideas but if they can’t express them, they are left untouched.
We currently offer individual therapy sessions focusing on language development, early intervention, feeding, oral placement and apraxia, articulation, language and literacy, fluency/stuttering, and behavior management.
