Evaluations
A speech therapy evaluation is a process used by speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to assess an individual's speech and language abilities. The evaluation typically consists of a series of assessments and observations to determine the individual's strengths and areas of need.
Speech & Language Therapy
We offer engaging and play-based individual therapy sessions that are designed to meet the unique needs of children. Through interactive and developmentally appropriate activities, we create a nurturing environment that fosters growth and progress.
Bilingual Evaluations & Therapy
Evaluations are conducted to distinguish between language difference vs language disorders in bilingual clients.
​
Bilingual speech therapy is specialized speech therapy designed for individuals who speak more than one language and may experience language delays or disorders in their languages.
Consultation Services
Parent coaching is a flexible and family-focused approach that enhances a child's communication skills. It streamlines goals, offers convenience in delivery, and equips parents and caregivers with the knowledge and tools they need to support their child's speech and language development effectively.
This is particularly beneficial when anticipating school-based therapy, managing waitlist placement, or exploring options to minimize private therapy expenses.
Spanish Social Groups
Our non-therapy program focuses on fostering linguistic, cognitive, social, and social emotional skills. Through interactive activities like games, songs, stories, and crafts.

Meet Lupe
Founder, Speech-Language Pathologist
Hi! I’m Lupe, a licensed pediatric speech‑language pathologist and the founder of Speak Through Play, Inc. I work with children and families across Westchester, NY and Connecticut, as well as virtually throughout NY and CT.
I have extensive experience supporting children with a variety of communication needs, and my clinical focus has expanded to include articulation therapy and pediatric myofunctional therapy, while continuing to treat speech and language development.
As both a clinician and a mom of three, I understand how communication impacts everyday family life — from mealtimes and routines to learning, socializing, and emotional regulation. This perspective shapes everything I do in therapy. I believe progress happens best when families feel supported, empowered, and involved.
My therapy style is warm, engaging, and evidence‑based. I use play as a powerful tool to help children feel comfortable while building the skills they need to communicate clearly and confidently.
Getting Started is Easy!
