Intensive Therapy program
What is an intensive speech therapy program?
An intensive therapy program is typically 1 to 3 weeks long, and consists of daily speech therapy sessions with a focus on 2 to 3 main goals. The sessions provide repeated practice across contexts to allow for faster progress in a condensed time frame.
We often incorporate time indoors and outdoors into our intensive therapy packages, allowing for repeated practice across a variety of contexts. This promotes faster progress on goals, and more importantly, generalization of any new skills acquired beyond the therapy room.
Intensive packages are available upon request, subject to availability. To inquire, please contact our office at at Info@speechinmotion.com to learn more.
Who can benefit from an intensive program?
Clients of all ages can benefit from an intensive treatment program. We recommend considering doing an intensive:
- For clients with significant speech, language or feeding difficulties.
- During times when progress seems slow or stagnant.
- During a growth spurt, to maximize gains.
- During times when rapid improvement is needed.
- Following new onset or new diagnosis of a speech or language difficulty.
- During times when schools are closed.
- When the client is identified as having a motor speech disorder, including childhood apraxia of speech.
- Following introduction of a new AAC system.
- For clients who respond well to repeated practice.

We are on the move!
After 15 years in Islandia, we will soon be moving to a new location. While we search for a new home that best meets our needs and allows us to continue serving our community, we will be taking a temporary pause on accepting new clients. But don’t worry - we’re already working behind the scenes to find the right space, and we can’t wait to share what’s next!
In the meantime, if you would like us to stay in touch, please fill out the interest form. We’ll keep you updated as soon as more details become available.
We look forward to speaking with you soon!
