Community-Based Speech, Feeding, and Airway Care
Compassionate Care Near You
Originally founded to serve the Central Valley region of California (including Kings, Tulare, and Fresno Counties), our practice has expanded its mission to deliver this same exceptional, friendly, and compassionate care to families and individuals across California, Texas, and Tennessee.
Our Whole-Patient Approach
We believe that speech and feeding therapy cannot exist in a vacuum. Our whole-patient model looks beyond isolated symptoms to understand the biological, sensory, and structural foundations of communication and health. By collaborating with multi-disciplinary teams and families, we treat the individual as a whole, ensuring that every therapeutic intervention supports long-term growth and systemic wellness.
Why Families Choose ACCESS Speech Therapy
Families choose us because we prioritize the relationship between clinical expertise and heartfelt care. Our integrated approach means you aren’t just getting a therapist; you are gaining a dedicated partner in your health journey, backed by specialized training in airway, feeding, and advanced communication systems.
Sensory Integration
Recognizing that communication and feeding are deeply sensory experiences, we integrate sensory strategies into our treatment. By helping clients regulate their sensory systems, we create a stable foundation for learning new motor patterns and communication skills.
Feeding Therapy
We support infants, children, and adults through complex feeding and swallowing challenges. Our approach is sensory-informed and motor-based, aiming to make mealtimes safe, nutritionally supportive, and physically managed for both the client and their support system.
Buteyko Breathing Therapy
As part of our commitment to airway health, we teach Buteyko breathing techniques to help clients transition from mouth to nasal breathing. Proper nasal breathing improves oxygenation, reduces anxiety, and supports the stability of myofunctional and speech therapy results.
Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy
Our myofunctional therapy focuses on the proper function of the muscles of the face and mouth. We address issues such as tongue thrust, mouth breathing, and narrow palates to ensure optimal resting posture and swallow patterns, which are critical for dental health, sleep quality, and clear speech.
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
We empower non-speaking or minimally speaking individuals to communicate effectively using diverse tools. From high-tech speech-generating devices to low-tech picture systems, our AAC specialists focus on robust language systems that give every individual a reliable and autonomous voice in all environments.
