Specialized speech-language therapy in
Baltimore, MD

Baltimore City Speech Therapy specializes in speech sound disorders and language delays — with sessions tailored to each child's needs and interests.

Therapy for Speech & Articulation

Articulation therapy is designed to help your child communicate more clearly and confidently. If your child has difficulty producing certain speech sounds, is hard to understand, or becomes frustrated when communicating, individualized therapy provides targeted support in a fun, encouraging environment.

Your child will work one-on-one with a licensed speech-language pathologist to practice correct speech sound production and improve overall clarity. Sessions use games, books, movement activities, crafts, and play-based learning to keep things engaging.

Parents receive updates, strategies, and simple practice ideas to support progress at home.

Therapy for Language Disorders

Language therapy helps your child better understand language and communicate more effectively. Some children have difficulty following directions, answering questions, understanding vocabulary, expressing their thoughts, or putting words together into sentences.

Receptive Language

  • Following directions
  • Understanding vocabulary & concepts
  • Answering “wh-” questions
  • Listening & processing information
  • Understanding sentences and stories

Expressive Language

  • Expanding vocabulary
  • Using words, phrases & sentences
  • Answering and asking questions
  • Improving grammar & sentence structure
  • Conversations & social interactions

Meet Your Speech Therapist

Laurie Kaplan, M.S., CCC-SLP

Owner, Speech-Language Pathologist

Welcome! I'm Laurie, a licensed speech-language pathologist with over 25 years of experience working with children with a wide range of speech, language, developmental, and learning differences. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of helping children build confidence, strengthen communication skills, and find their voices in meaningful ways.

I specialize in working with children with articulation and phonological disorders, receptive and expressive language delays, autism spectrum disorder, developmental delays, and other communication challenges. I've worked in schools, homes, and private practice, and I truly believe that every child can make progress when therapy is individualized, engaging, and supportive.

My approach to therapy is warm, playful, and child-centered. I strive to create sessions that feel fun and motivating while still targeting meaningful goals. Building strong relationships with both children and families is extremely important to me.

I currently reside in the Fells Point neighborhood of Baltimore with my sheepadoodle, George, who keeps life entertaining. When I'm not working with children and families, I enjoy spending time with my son, who is currently away at college.
