Speech support for your littlest learners. Right where they already are.
UpWords Speech partners with Columbus-area daycares and early learning centers to bring on-site screenings, therapy, and staff coaching to the children in your care, and real peace of mind to their families.
The early years are when speech support works best.
Birth to age five is the fastest window for language growth, and it's the window where a little help goes the longest way. Your teachers are often the first to notice when a child isn't talking quite like their friends. Families trust your read, then ask you what to do next.
That's where we come in. UpWords Speech is a Columbus-based pediatric speech therapy practice that partners with early learning centers to bring screenings, therapy, and support right to your classrooms, so young children get help early, and busy parents don't have to chase it down across town.
A warm, on-site partner for your center.
On-site speech screenings
Quick, play-based screenings that gently flag which children may benefit from a closer look, no pressure on families.
