Neurodiversity-Affirming Speech and Language Therapy via Telehealth

Welcome to Rose Petal Speech & Language

Our Approach

All of our speech therapy sessions are conducted virtually, providing the flexibility and convenience families need. Sessions are child-led and play-based, ensuring that therapy is engaging, meaningful, and aligned with each child’s interests and strengths.

We are deeply committed to caregiver and family training, empowering parents and caregivers to support communication skills at home and in daily routines. This collaboration helps children generalize skills across environments.

The Details

We take a relationship-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach to speech and language therapy. We start by getting to know your child—their interests, strengths, and unique ways of communicating—so that therapy feels engaging, meaningful, and joyful.

Our sessions are flexible and tailored to each child’s individual needs.

Why Telehealth?

Telehealth makes speech therapy convenient, effective, and comfortable for children and families. Sessions take place in the home or any quiet place with wifi where the child will feel safe. Families can easily participate, learn strategies, and support skill-building in real life.

With a child-led, play-based approach, teletherapy is just as effective as in-person care for many clients, offering individualized, family-centered support that helps children communicate confidently across daily routines.

Do you take insurance?

We do not bill insurance directly. Our services are private pay; however, many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage. For families who request it, we provide a monthly Superbill that can be submitted to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

Do you offer in-person services?

All of our speech therapy sessions are offered via telehealth (video call) to provide flexible, convenient, and effective care from the comfort of your home.

My child can't sit in front of a device. Will telehealth work for me?

Yes! Our telehealth sessions are play-based, flexible, and child-led. Children don’t need to sit still—we incorporate movement, toys, and everyday routines to keep therapy engaging. Caregivers are an important part of the session, helping guide activities and support communication skills in real time. Telehealth can be highly effective, even for children who find screens challenging, because therapy happens in a familiar, comfortable environment.

How long are therapy sessions? Frequency?

Our sessions range from 30 minutes to 1 hour. The frequency depends on each individual child's needs, ranging from 1-3 sessions per week.

What is the difference between an evaluation and plan of care?

Comprehensive Evaluation
A comprehensive evaluation is a thorough assessment of your child’s speech, language, and communication skills. Using assessments, observation, and caregiver input, we identify strengths, areas of need, and provide recommendations to guide therapy.

Speech Therapy Plan of Care
A plan of care summarizes your child’s unique strengths and needs and outlines specific therapy goals. It provides a clear roadmap for therapy and is updated as your child grows and develops.

What is neurodiversity-affirming speech therapy?

Neurodiversity-affirming speech therapy recognizes that every brain learns, communicates, and experiences the world differently. Instead of trying to “fix” or change how a person communicates, this approach celebrates each individual’s natural communication style and supports authentic connection.

In neurodiversity-affirming therapy, we:

Value all forms of communication – including speech, gestures, AAC, and scripts.
Support a child’s autonomy and sensory needs rather than focusing on compliance or “normalizing” behavior.
Build on strengths and interests to foster motivation and joy in communication.
Collaborate with families to create goals that are meaningful, respectful, and supportive of the child’s identity.

What is a gestalt language processor?

If your child uses “scripting” or repeats phrases, songs, or lines from shows (a form of delayed echolalia), they may be a gestalt language processor.

There are two main ways children develop language:

Analytic processors learn language word by word — for example, saying “ball,” then “ball go,” then “ball go up.”
Gestalt processors, on the other hand, learn language in “chunks” or gestalts (such as full phrases or scripts) before breaking them down into smaller parts later on.

This means gestalt language processors might use entire phrases or sentences that they’ve heard before they begin combining single words.

What ages do you work with?

We work with a wide range of ages from 2-21.

Can I be present for my child's session?

Yes! In fact, we encourage it. We value the opportunity to connect with the child's family and really integrate the methods we are using into their everyday routine.

Can you work with my child if they see another speech therapist as well?

Yes! And we are always more than happy to collaborate with other team members.
