Calling parents of neurodivergent kids, teens, and young adults who struggle with social skills, conversation skills, and friendships — enrollment is officially open for our next CONNECT Program cohort!

We begin the first week of January 2026, and I know it may seem far away, but we all know that once the holidays hit, time flies and to-do lists get long. That’s why I encourage you to secure your child’s spot now if you’re interested.

Think of it as a “set it and forget it” — you’ll head into the new year knowing your child is all set to:
✔ Build confidence in social situations
✔ Strengthen conversation skills
✔ Develop and maintain friendships

This winter, I’m opening up 3 age groups:
→ Ages 10–13 meet Mondays
→ Ages 14–17 meet Tuesdays
→ Ages 18+ meet Wednesdays

📍 This 8-week program meets in person in Ahwatukee
Only 6 spots per age group

Today marks Pyzza Speech Therapy’s 5th anniversary!

I’m beyond grateful for the families and providers I’ve been able to support over the past 5 years.

Here are a few milestones I’m celebrating today:
💛 250+ families supported
💛 20+ social skills group participants
💛 4500+ speech therapy sessions provided
💛 130+  speech therapists who’ve connected with me about neurodiversity-affirming support

If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that the work I do to support kids, teens, and adults with speech sounds and social communication is the passion and purpose that drives all the things I do.

Thank you for being part of this community, whether you’re a parent I’ve worked with, a parent learning alongside me online, or a speech therapist who’s found value in my resources.

Your support means more to me than I can express. 🥹

Pyzza Speech Therapy isn’t just a private practice, it’s my life’s work. And I’m so thankful you’re part of it. 🥰

POV: You’re an SLP and you’ve finally found the one. 💍

👀 The one for you? → The Social Skills Blueprint™ Handbook for Providers.

And it’s officially out today! 🎉

Think of it as your step-by-step roadmap + teaching guide for social communication sessions — so you can stop feeling overwhelmed, second-guessing yourself, and spending hours planning your sessions every week.

Instead, you can finally start:
✨ Leaving work on time instead of staying late to prep social skills sessions
✨ Saying goodbye to late-night Pinterest rabbit holes
✨ Walking into sessions feeling calm, clear, and confident
✨ Having energy left to enjoy your life outside of therapy
✨ Actually loving your job again because social skills therapy isn’t overwhelming anymore

This is how it finally gets easier. 💛

Ready to meet your perfect match?

If your child often comes home saying things like “I didn’t know what to say” or “No one talked to me,” it’s heartbreaking.

Your child likely wants friends, they just haven’t received the right tools or support yet.

During my 8-week in-person CONNECT Program, I teach those tools — step-by-step, in a way that makes sense for your tween or teen.

So instead of shrinking back, your child starts to show up with more confidence.

And you get to see their smile again. 🥹

This IS possible, and we get started NEXT WEEK!

🗓️ Starting August 5 & 6
📍Ahwatukee

Only 1 interview spot left for the 14-17yo group!

For parents of girls ages 10–11 who are struggling to make and keep friends—this might be exactly what you’ve been looking for. ⬇️

I wasn’t planning to run another PEERS group right now… but after so many parents reached out asking for this exact thing, I decided to open up one more group starting the first week of May and running through June.

This PEERS group is just for girls ages 10–11 who are having a hard time with friendships.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve heard from so many parents saying things like: “My daughter is kind, thoughtful, and funny—but she just can’t seem to connect with other kids her age.”

If that sounds familiar, you're not alone—and this group was made with your daughter in mind. 💛

Starting in early May, I’m running a PEERS group specifically for 10–11-year-old girls who need support making and keeping friends.

We'll cover conversation skills, joining groups, finding the right friends, handling conflict and rejection, and so much more — all in a safe, supportive space with other girls needing support with the same things.

Only 6 spots available, and sign-ups close April 15th.

📩 Send me a DM with your email address, and I’ll send over the info + next steps to get your daughter registered.

You don’t have to figure this out alone—and I’d love to support you both on this journey.
