North Dallas Speech

Our Mission

To provide high quality, personalized speech therapy to maximize communication skills in your child.

About Us

Hello! My name is Laura Sheppard and I have over 14 years of experience as a speech-language pathologist. I have a passion for giving children a means to communicate because I believe everyone has a voice that deserves to be heard. I enjoy creating a plan that is meaningful and specific for each child using the different skills and knowledge I have received over the years. My goal is to create a very personalized therapy experience for both the child and the parents.

We are always here to discuss your speech and language concerns and determine initial testing and/or therapy needs.

Services & Investment

Assessment and treatment is provided to children (ages 3-18) with a wide range of speech and language disorders.

Evaluation & Treatment Process

If you are concerned about your child's speech and/or language, please contact us by either email or telephone to start the referral process.

Speech Disorders

Most children make some mistakes as they learn to say new words. A speech sound disorder occurs when mistakes continue past a certain age.

Language Disorders

Language disorders can make it difficult for kids to understand what people are saying to them and to express their own thoughts and feelings through speech.

Stuttering

Stuttering occurs when the natural flow of speech is interrupted. Stuttering will usually begin between the ages of three and six. Onset is usually gradual but may be quite sudden.
