Welcome to Diamond Speech and Language! I'm Shiri Diamond, a pediatric speech therapist, based in Ambler. I provide speech therapy for toddlers, preschool, and school age children in Upper Dublin, Horsham, Springhouse and the Northwest Philadelphia suburbs. I bring speech therapy to you, at home, school, in the community, or online.

Speech Therapy for toddlers and preschoolers focuses on weaving therapy into your child's daily routines, and activities, all in the comfort of your home!  You know your child best, and are your child's first teacher.  Therefore, you will receive research based, speech therapist parent coaching to learn how to support your child's speech and language development.

This speech therapist travels to local daycares, preschools, and private schools.  Toddler speech therapy at daycare and preschooler speech therapy at preschool, provide natural opportunities to work on communication skills, school readiness, and social skills.  It also makes getting to speech therapy easy for you and your child.  

For school age children, I provide speech therapy at several local libraries throughout Montgomery and Bucks Counties.  Your child will receive specialized speech therapy for stuttering, articulation, speech sound disorders, and Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) in a convenient and family friendly location. 

For children who demonstrate speech and language delays, a family-centered approach is vital.  You know your child best, and are your child's first and most important teacher.  Through parent and caregiver coaching and support, you will learn how to support and nurture your child's speech and language development during everyday routines, and your child's favorite activities.

Speech therapy for stuttering is highly individualized.  My approach honors your child's personality and temperament, and focuses on helping your child communicate with comfort and confidence.  Speech therapy also provides a space for your child to stutter freely and openly, and develop healthy communication attitudes.

Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is a motor speech disorder in which children have difficulty with coordinating the complex movements needed for speech. Speech therapy combines the principles of motor learning, PROMPT cueing, and Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing with fun and engaging activities to help your child succeed and have fun at the same time.

Speech Sound Disorders include articulation disorders, such as lisps and specific sound errors, phonological disorders (errors in sound patterns), and motor speech disorders, such as dysarthria and Childhood Apraxia of Speech.  Therapy combines research and evidence-based practice with creativity and fun  to help your child achieve clear and intelligible speech.
