What Sessions Look Like

The Speak Live Play experience.

Every session is built around play — so your child is having fun while building real, lasting communication skills.

Speech Play

Turn sounds into games!

Every sound, word, and sentence becomes part of a game your child wants to play — building real articulation and language skills along the way.

Feeding Calm Zone

Make mealtime feel safe again.

Gentle, sensory-friendly feeding therapy helps your child build a positive relationship with food — one bite, sniff, or touch at a time.

Discovery

Find your child's communication superpowers.

Evaluation and goal-setting uncover exactly how your child communicates best — so every session builds on real strengths.

Practice Toolkit

Level up with playful activities.

Flashcards, songs, stories, and mini-games make practicing communication skills something your child actually looks forward to.

Real-Life Missions

Use new skills everywhere.

At the dinner table, on the playground, at school — every day becomes a chance to practice and grow.

What We Do

Two focus areas. One warm, playful approach.

Every plan is built around your child — using play, connection, and evidence-based techniques to build real, lasting progress.

Support for articulation, language delays, stuttering, apraxia, and social communication — built around how your child already loves to play.

  • Articulation & clarity
  • Language delays & development
  • Fluency & social communication
  • Card decks, story books & language games

  • Oral-motor & sensory support

Our Approach

Care built around your family — not the other way around.

Every child communicates differently, so no two plans at Speak Live Play look the same. Here's what stays constant.

Family-Centered Practice

You're a partner in every session — not a bystander.

Play-First Methods

Progress happens through games, stories, and everyday moments.

Evidence-Based Clinical Care

Every technique is grounded in current speech-language research.

Accessible & Flexible

Evening and weekend slots, so therapy fits your family's routine.

Our Mission

Three ideas. One whole-child approach.

We believe communication grows fastest at the intersection of clear speech, real connection, and unstructured play — so every visit blends all three.

Meet Your Therapist

Hi, I'm Melissa Peters Yang.

I started Speak Live Play because I believe therapy works best when it doesn't feel like "therapy" at all — it feels like play, connection, and everyday family life.

As a licensed, certified Speech-Language Pathologist, I bring evidence-based speech and feeding therapy into your home, so your child can learn and grow in the space where they feel safest — surrounded by their own toys, their own routines, and the people who love them.
