Our Philosophy

At Bright Expressions, we place a strong emphasis on parent/caregiver involvement. We believe that one of our most important roles as Speech-Language Pathologists is to coach parents/caregivers on how to facilitate language development. We visit your home for a relatively small amount of time each week; true progress happens when we provide you with strategies and help you apply them to your child’s daily life across a variety of activities. Our goal is to coach you on using these strategies and help you feel confident implementing them when we are not present. 

The majority of our sessions will be spent using toys, materials, and routines you already have established in your home. This is intentional; we want to teach you how to use what you already have to facilitate language development. When we leave your home at the end of a session, you feel confident in using the strategies we have taught you with the toys and routines your child already loves. 

In addition to providing direct therapy to your child, our goal is to empower you as a parent/caregiver to successfully and confidently implement the therapy strategies we teach you. Ultimately, we hope your child becomes an effective communicator and no longer requires our services.
