Wellspring Therapy Services | Speech-Language Pathologist photo
Wellspring Therapy Services is an excellent choice for treatment of speech disorders including apraxia of speech, stuttering, voice disorders and speech sound problems such as articulation and phonological processes. Additionally, we provide therapy services for children with language-based learning disorders, Autism spectrum disorder and ADHD.

Why Wellspring?
"Wellspring" means a source of continuous supply. We believe that child development occurs in a similar fashion; in a continuous and flowing fashion, and speech and language skills are integral to this flow.

Our services are aimed at intervening early, when human development is most rapid, thus giving each child the best possible start in their overall development. Because families have the greatest impact on their child’s development, our services also focus on giving families’ information and teaching them new skills.

Wellspring is committed to working with families and educators to develop personalized therapy goals and innovative treatment techniques.
Education/Training
Speech therapy is covered my most medical insurance plans. Wellspring Therapy is an in-network provider with several plans, including Maryland Medicaid. Please contact our office for more information.
