About DST
Welcome! My name is Patrick Griggs and I am the owner and founder of Dynamic Speech Therapy, which is a mobile pediatric speech practice. I provide therapy in-home, in schools/daycares, and in community based settings (library, community centers, parks, playgrounds etc.). I take a strengths/interests based, neurodiversity affirming approach, which allows me to develop a strong connection with the children I work with. Having a strong social relationship is crucial and the foundation for the development of new skills.
If any of these things describe your child, contact us!
*
Does your child easily memorize songs, but they are having difficulty combining words to communicate?
**
Have you and other therapists been working on "I want" for a while because not much is 'sticking'?
***
Are there seemingly 'random' things your child says where YOU know what they mean, even if someone else might not?
****
Does your child prefer when routines are the same each time you do them?
*****
Does your child have difficulty answering questions? Or do they become upset when you try to ask them questions?
