My little boy had a speech delay and want saying anything at 3 years of age we worked with Christina. She was so amazingly sweet kind and patient She always gave me ample notice if needing to reschedule and rarely had to cancel. We loved their homey new office and kid friendly atmosphere. We wished we still needed services but on the bright side after working with her for 4months with a year break and again for 4 months my sons speech improved greatly and was caught up to his peers

I have two daughters attending Redmond Speech and Language. We have had a wonderful experience. We drive out from Sisters and the office has gone above and beyond to try and schedule the girls back to back or at the same time to make it more convenient for me. One of our girls has a hard time with transitions and can be difficult to work with. They have been so warm friendly and patient with her. She has actually moved into a group session to help her with friendships and communicating better with peers. I truly am grateful for the TLC the girls have received and the progress they are making. I also have to mention the office is adorable very homey and welcoming.Christal Valdez

My son has been working with Christina at Redmond Speech since he was in Kindergarten hes 11 now and I cannot sing their praises high enough. My son could not talk at all as a toddler and could never properly communicate his needs and wants. Working with Christina over the years really brought him out of his shell and allowed him to be excited about learning and communicating. Hes grown so much with her and the rest of the staff there and were always treated like family as soon as we arrive. They have opened so many doors for him and allowed him to work and learn at his own pace. Our time spent there is priceless. Hes supported and valued every second hes there. Watching him become the talkative young man he now is because of his time at Redmond Speech has brought us to tears many times. Thank you

We have been seeing Christina with Redmond Speech Language for 1.5 years now. My son has made significant progress and is getting closer to completing his speech therapy journey. I would choose no other office for these services for my kiddos. Highly recommend them. Once you are on the schedule you get reminders for appointments and they are very friendly about rescheduling appointments.

We have had such a wonderful experience with Angie and her team Both of my kids beg to go to speech. They love it there especially the ball pit Most places only have one or 2 speech therapist at their offices which can make scheduling twice a week therapy for 2 kids really hard. They have gone above and beyond to accommodate our busy schedule. I really appreciate how well they communicate what we need to work on at home.

My son has had trouble talking for years. No one understands his Rex language we have had him in different services for years with little progress. Since he started seeing his therapist at Redmond Speech and Language he has had so much progress. I had tears the first time he correctly called me mommy at almost 5 years old. But it was something we never knew was so hard for him. RSL has helped us understand his condition of Apraxia and how to better help him. He has not only progressed but he is trying more which was something we were worried about since he was starting to shut down. We will forever be grateful for everything they do for our son. The bond him and his therapist have is not like any other bond he has had with any of his doctors or therapist. And they are so great at making sure he has his weekly appointments scheduled with the same person and frequent so he will continue to progress.

My daughter Lydia has been receiving speech therapy for years. She has apraxia of speech. We have seen several speech therapists over the years but thank goodness we found Redmond Speech Therapy. Christina is an angel. She is amazing. She is so intelligent and experienced. She is accommodating and pushes my daughter and gives us homework to work on at home so we can get the best results for Lydia. Communication is one of the most important things a child needs and fortunately we have seen Lydia make such great progress Thank you Christina and Becca You are wonderfulMary Gregg

Frequently Asked Questions
Speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they might need to work on communication skills like:
responding to questions
starting or ending conversation
changing conversation topics
using gestures like pointing
understanding other people's body language
Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. There is a critical period in the brain for language development and so, it's really important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible, especially if there are any delays in that area. Your child will learn effective ways to communicate which will help them grow into more independent and confident individuals.
It might be obvious when a child struggles with speaking —they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don't speak at all.
Spot speech and language delays like a doctor here.
The goal of speech therapy is to help your child communicate effectively with other people across all environments. This may take the form of using gestures, simple signs, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).
Some other common things speech therapists can help with:
Nonverbal skills, such as signs or gestures
Forming speech in a clearer way
Communicating thoughts and feelings clearly
Understanding and responding to questions
Discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions
Noticing and understanding body language
Feeding and swallowing
Stuttering
“Early Intervention” might be the provider’s way of describing services that they provide to babies or young children. However, it might also indicate that the provider is a vendor for your state’s publicly funded program. This means the services with this provider might be covered by your state!
The first step in accessing these free services from your state is to get an evaluation. The evaluation will help the state determine what services your child qualifies for, if any. You can find your state’s local EI program by clicking here.
When you contact your local center, say “I have concerns about my child’s development and I would like to have my child evaluated to find out if they are eligible for early intervention services.” They will ask screening questions and arrange for an evaluation, which is provided for free.
Here are a few alternative options to consider:
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): CBT helps by identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It's useful for those dealing with social anxiety or difficulties. CBT addresses cognitive patterns and provides strategies to manage social challenges.
Group therapy: Group therapy offers a supportive space where individuals can practice social skills. They can feedback from peers and a therapist. It allows interaction with others who understand and learn from each other.
Play-based interventions: Play therapy or play-based interventions work well for younger children or those who learn through experiences. Play activities target specific social skills like turn-taking and problem-solving in a safe and engaging setting.
