We\u2019ve heard that you are confused about what to do when you first notice that your child sounds different than his peers. You\u2019ve told us how your heart breaks when your daughter comes home from school a little quieter and less confident because another child made fun of her \u201cwords.\u201d We have heard about pull-out services, long wait lists, scheduling difficulties, and kids rejected from school-based therapy due to budget cuts.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why we launched Speech Buddies Connect. We started last fall by creating an online directory for local parents to connect with local speech therapists. We\u2019ve registered over 3200 SLPs and are growing rapidly! Today, we\u2019re expanding this service even further. Now, no matter what type of speech challenge you are trying to fix, we will send a licensed speech professional directly to your home to work with your child. We choose only the best State-certified therapists to join our expanded network. We\u2019ve made booking appointments much easier with flexible visit times that fit your schedule. With our debut in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.speechbuddy.com\/brooklyn\">Brooklyn, New York<\/a>, families can now find <em><strong>and book<\/strong><\/em> the best speech therapists for home-based speech therapy lessons.<\/p>\n<p>At Speech Buddies, we passionately believe that every child has a voice. And that voice deserves to be heard. So here\u2019s to all of your children and all of the wonderful, creative, imaginative, silly ideas they have to share. We can\u2019t wait to hear what they have to say.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<br \/>\nAdrienne Penake<br \/>\nCEO, Speech Buddies<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #999999;\">Photo:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/edenpictures\/9959357686\/\">Maya<\/a> by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/edenpictures\/\">Eden, Janine and Jim<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, we are proud to launch a new home-based speech therapy service through Speech Buddies Connect, the first online marketplace for parents to find and book appointments with local speech professionals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10703,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[519],"tags":[515,5],"class_list":["post-10684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-at-home-speech-therapy","tag-speech-therapy"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.speechbuddy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/9959357686_fa59db8e88_o.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.speechbuddy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10684","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.speechbuddy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.speechbuddy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.speechbuddy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.speechbuddy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10684"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/www.speechbuddy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10684\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11479,"href":"https:\/\/www.speechbuddy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10684\/revisions\/11479"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.speechbuddy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10703"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.speechbuddy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.speechbuddy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10684"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.speechbuddy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
