MEET YOUR SPEECH THERAPIST
"High energy and play in my sessions lets children have fun and forget they are working, allowing them to learn even more!"
Kayla Leonard, M.S., CCC-SLP
Owner, Speech-Language Pathologist
Kayla brings over a decade of experience in early intervention, schools, and private practice to SpeakEasy Speech Therapy. She started her own private speech therapy practice with the goal to provide highly personalized, convenient, and effective therapy for families and children in the South Shore of Massachusetts.
Kayla's therapy sessions are full of energy. Children learn best when they are fully engaged, so speech therapy with Kayla includes games, singing, crafts, and play! She also dedicates time to coach parents and other caregivers, answer questions, and provide tips for working on skills between sessions.
At SpeakEasy Speech Therapy, therapy doesn't end when the session is over. Kayla is available outside of therapy as needed, and provides home practice, resources, and other tools to help parents support their child at home.

INSURANCE AND BILLING
At SpeakEasy Speech Therapy we believe your child's needs come first and know that the limitations created by insurance companies do not allow us to provide the highly personalized therapy your child deserves. Therefore, we are private pay only, meaning we do not bill insurance directly. Clients are, however, always welcome to access their out-of-network benefits. Please let us know if this interests you, and we are more than happy to discuss this option before we begin working together.
We come to you!
At SpeakEasy, we understand how busy life gets, especially with little ones. In addition, research shows that when children learn new skills in their natural settings, they are most likely to use them in their daily lives. That's why we bring speech therapy to you!
Serving children & families throughout the South Shore of Massachusetts.
Speech therapy is offered at home, at your child's daycare or preschool, or online.
No need to commute! We make speech therapy convenient & effective.
Communication is the essence of human life.
