Help Your Child Build Skills Where They Use Them Most
Traveling to a clinic is not always convenient, and a clinical environment may not be where your child communicates most naturally.
Our mobile speech therapy program brings personalized care directly to your child. Sessions may take place in your home or, when permitted, at your child’s daycare, preschool, private school, or another appropriate setting agreed upon in advance.
Working in a familiar environment allows your child to practice communication skills during real activities and everyday routines. It also creates opportunities for collaboration with parents, caregivers, and educators who support your child throughout the week.
All mobile speech therapy appointments are provided by The Voz Institute’s founder and owner, Dr. Ana-Maria Jaramillo, SLPD, CCC-SLP. Therapy may be provided in English, Spanish, or both, based on your child’s language background, communication needs, and individualized goals.
Each appointment is 60 minutes long and includes approximately 50 minutes of direct therapy followed by 10 minutes of caregiver education.
Support That Fits Into Your Child’s Everyday Life
Familiar settings and everyday routines can create meaningful opportunities for children to practice new communication skills.
A Familiar Environment
Receiving therapy in a familiar space may help your child feel more comfortable, engaged, and ready to participate.
Functional Skill Development
Your child can practice communication skills during the routines and activities in which those skills are actually needed.
Better Carryover
Working on goals at home, daycare, or school can make it easier to continue practicing new skills between sessions.
Caregiver and Educator Collaboration
Your therapist can work closely with the important people in your child’s life to support a consistent approach across environments.
Less Travel
In-home sessions can reduce the time and stress involved in transporting your child to and from appointments.
Personalized Support
Treatment is based on your child’s individual strengths, needs, routines, and communication goals.
Who Can Benefit From In-Home Speech Therapy?

- Have a busy family schedule
- Benefit from practicing skills during everyday routines
- Need additional caregiver coaching and education
