At Central Valley Speech Pathology, Inc. (CVSP), we believe communication and feeding are foundational to how children connect, learn, participate, and experience the world around them.
Our practice provides individualized speech, language, and feeding therapy for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. We partner with families to understand each child's unique strengths, needs, and developmental journey—and to create therapy that is meaningful, functional, and supportive.
While CVSP has a strong foundation in early intervention and birth-to-three services, our practice has grown to support children beyond the early years. We recognize that communication and feeding needs don't stop when a child turns three, and families deserve continued support as their children grow and develop.

Child Led
Child Led
Child-led means we follow your child’s interests to support their learning. We use play and everyday routines to build skills like communication and problem-solving in a natural, fun way. This keeps them engaged, motivated, and more likely to learn new skills naturally. We join in and guide them at their level, turning their everyday play into learning moments.
Family Centered
Family Centered
Family-centered means we work together with your family to support your child’s development. We listen to your concerns, respect your routines, and help you use everyday moments, like meals, play, and bath time, to build your child’s skills in ways that matter most to your family.
Play Based
Play Based
Play-based means we use play as the main tool to support your child’s learning and development. Through fun and engaging activities, like building, pretend play, or playing with toys, we help your child build important skills like communication, social interaction, and problem-solving. Play makes learning feel natural and enjoyable, especially for young children.

Childhood Language Disorders
We provide individualized assessment and intervention for children with receptive and/or expressive language differences that impact communication and participation. Intervention is strengths-based and neurodiversity-affirming, with a focus on supporting each child's unique communication profile and functional goals.
Aphasia Therapy
We provide individualized speech and language therapy for adults experiencing aphasia, a communication disorder that can affect speaking, understanding, reading, and writing. Therapy focuses on functional communication and helping individuals participate more confidently in everyday life.
