Why deal with traffic or put your child in an unfamiliar clinical environment? In-home speech therapy brings the session to you — in the comfort of the space where your family already lives, plays, and eats.
A speech-language pathologist (SLP) evaluates and treats the way a person speaks, understands language, and communicates — starting with a full evaluation before building a plan tailored to that person's specific needs. Strong communication touches nearly every part of daily life, which is why an early, accurate evaluation matters so much.
For elderly clients in particular, coming to a clinic isn't always realistic. In-home visits remove that barrier entirely, bringing a licensed therapist directly to a client who might otherwise go without care.
Stroke survivors see similar benefits. In-home sessions make it easy for family members and caregivers to sit in, learn alongside the client, and carry strategies into everyday routines between visits — something that's much harder to replicate in a clinic setting.
Speech therapy covers a wide range of needs across every stage of life.
Addresses speaking difficulties, swallowing and eating, communication, and cognitive or memory rehabilitation — common with dysphagia, stroke, Alzheimer's, dementia, and brain injuries.
Covers language-learning disorders, feeding difficulties, fluency, and communication — for diagnoses including Cerebral Palsy, Autism, ADHD, speech and developmental delay, Asperger's Syndrome, cleft palate, language-learning disabilities, neurological disorders, and TBI.
A therapist comes directly to the patient's home — adult, pediatric, or geriatric — for every session.
Helps aging patients recover speech, swallowing, eating, cognition, memory, and communication affected by age, accidents, or medical conditions.
Speech therapy is for anyone experiencing difficulty with speech, language, memory, comprehension, or swallowing. The goal is always the same: a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan built around that individual's specific challenges and goals.
Speak Live Play works out of Providence St. John's Health Center, where Melissa Peters Yang, M.S., CCC-SLP & CLC works closely with patients, families, and referring providers on a fully personalized plan of care.
Melissa Peters Yang holds a BS in Speech-Language Pathology from George Washington University and a Master's from Molloy College in Rockville Centre, NY. Her clinical background spans schools and private practice, with particular expertise in pediatric neurological and medical diagnoses — including Turner Syndrome, Down Syndrome, Nemaline Myopathy, Angelman Syndrome, Fragile X Syndrome, Williams Syndrome, and childhood multiple sclerosis — as well as infant feeding disorders in both outpatient and NICU settings.
In medical settings, she's worked with swallowing and feeding disorders, post-stroke recovery, tracheostomy care, and traumatic brain injury, using instrumental exams including Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluations of Swallowing and Modified Barium Swallow Studies. Her approach is individualized and evidence-based, with additional training and certifications including:
Choosing an SLP and getting started early makes a real difference — and bringing therapy into the home changes the experience in a few specific ways.
In-home therapy advances the same goals while saving parents and caregivers the commute — time that goes back into family involvement, which research shows works best paired with focused 1:1 sessions.
A natural home environment helps new skills carry over into real life. Clinics can feel sterile or overstimulating, while home sessions build rapport faster and put functional, everyday communication front and center.
Every plan starts with a conversation about your family's needs — no commute, no unfamiliar clinical environment, just a session built around your home and schedule.
Three things change the moment therapy moves from a clinic into your home.
Skip the drive across a spread-out city, and put those hours back into being present. Research shows parents and caregivers who stay actively involved help clients reach their speech, language, and feeding goals faster.
Clinics can feel sterile and overstimulating. At home, clients build rapport with their therapist faster and practice real communication skills in the same everyday situations they're meant for.
