ABOUT THE SPEECH DEPARTMENT

Our BHA speech therapy department is comprised of Master’s-level accredited, Pennsylvania State Board Licensed, and ASHA certified (American Speech Language and Hearing Association) Speech-Language Pathologists.
Our mission is to empower children through personalized, evidence-based speech and language therapy that fosters communication, social interaction, and emotional well-being. We are dedicated to creating a supportive, inclusive environment where each child’s unique strengths and communication methods are recognized and developed, enabling them to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
Our vision is to be a leading advocate for transformative speech and language therapy practices that embrace neurodiversity and promote mental health. We envision a future where every child has access to the resources and support they need to confidently express themselves, build meaningful connections, and achieve their fullest potential in a school environment that not only values, but celebrates their individuality.
