Their approach

Mumtaz builds individualized plans grounded in evidence-based practice and holds specialty certifications in Vital-Stim, the McNeil Dysphagia Therapy Program, Lee Silverman Voice Treatment, and Lingraphica AAC technology. Children's therapy focuses on expressive and receptive language, pragmatics, early intervention for infants and toddlers, fluency, and reading and literacy skills.

A free discovery call is offered before the first appointment so parents can ask questions and describe their child's needs. The practice was private-pay at launch with insurance acceptance planned for 2021, so families should call to confirm current coverage options; office hours are Monday–Friday 1–6pm and Saturday 9am–1pm.
