In-Home Speech, Language & Feeding Therapy for Children & Adults
In Arizona

Welcome to Word Play

Welcome to Word Play. We provide speech, language, and feeding therapy for children and adults across Arizona, including the Phoenix metro area, Prescott Valley and the Tri-City region, Flagstaff, and surrounding communities.

Our care is personal, practical, and relationship-based, with services available at home, by teletherapy, and in community settings. Wherever therapy happens, our team focuses on helping each person communicate, connect, and experience life more fully.

Personalized Therapy Services for Arizona Families

Our therapy is designed to support the moments that matter most—helping your child share wants and needs, making mealtimes feel more positive, or helping an adult communicate, connect, and build independence.

Pediatric Speech Therapy

When your child is hard to understand or has trouble making certain sounds, we help build clearer speech through playful, encouraging therapy that feels natural and meaningful. Sessions focus on helping your child improve articulation and be understood in everyday conversations.

Pediatric Language Therapy

When your child is still learning to find words, understand language, or put thoughts into sentences, extra support can make communication easier. We help your child build vocabulary, organize ideas, and take part more fully in conversations at home, school, and in the community.

Pediatric Feeding Therapy

Feeding challenges can look different for every child, from limited food choices to chewing, swallowing, or sensory needs. We work alongside your family to help your child explore food, build feeding skills, and create more positive mealtime experiences with care and respect for their readiness. 

Adult Therapy Services

Adults may benefit from speech, language, cognition, or feeding therapy for many reasons, including congenital conditions, developmental differences, illness, injury, or changes in communication and swallowing abilities.  Our therapists provide personalized support that helps each person communicate with greater ease, participate in daily activities, improve nutritional intake and feeding skills, and stay connected to the people and moments that matter most.

School Contract Services

Word Play partners with schools and educational programs to provide reliable, experienced speech-language support within the school setting.

About Word Play, LLC

Word Play was created by speech-language pathologists who believed therapy should feel personal, practical, and deeply connected to everyday life. By meeting clients at home, through telehealth, in daycares, and in familiar community settings, we are able to understand each person’s routines, relationships, and real communication needs. This allows us to provide high-quality care that is meaningful, individualized, and easier to carry into daily life.

Our approach is play-based, relationship-driven, and shaped around each family’s goals. We take the time to understand what matters to you, adjust as needed, and stay consistent—especially when progress takes time.

Learn More About Your Child’s Development

When you have questions about your child’s development, it can be difficult to know where to begin. Our free online developmental screening offers a simple way to learn more about your child’s communication and feeding skills.

After completing the screening, our team can help you understand the results, answer your questions, and talk through possible next steps if additional support may be beneficial.

DDD & ESA Approved Provider

Word Play is a qualified provider with the Arizona Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) and an approved provider for Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) students. Our team can help you understand how to use your benefits to get started with services.
