Bud to Blossom offers in-home and virtual speech therapy, IEP consulting, and advocacy services for families in Commerce Township, Michigan, and surrounding communities. With 16 years of experience, our care is neurodiversity-affirming, play-based, and personalized to each child.

As a speech-language pathologist and a parent, I know what it’s like to sit on both sides of the IEP table—and how hard it can be to fit therapy into an already busy day. That’s why we bring compassionate, expert support directly to you.

Services We Offer

We provide speech and language screenings, evaluations, and therapy that fits your family—whether in-home or virtual. Our approach is child-led, play-based, and neurodiversity-affirming.

Articulation &
Phonological Skills

We help children improve their speech clarity by working on individual sounds and sound patterns that affect how they are understood.

Receptive & Expressive
Language Skills

We support children who have trouble understanding language, following directions, or using words to express their thoughts and needs.

Early Intervention
(Toddlers & Preschoolers)

We offer therapy for young children to support early speech, language, and play skills in a way that fits naturally into your daily routines.

AAC (Augmentative & Alternative Communication)

We support children who use tools like picture systems or speech devices to express themselves. Our neurodiversity-affirming approach values all forms of communication—AAC can be used alongside speech to support autonomy and connection.
