Speech Therapy for Kids and Teens in Haddonfield, NJ
Specialized help for five to eighteen year olds wtih unclear speech, childhood apraxia of speech, language delays, or reading and spelling challenges.
Parents of bright kids are often told, “they’ll grow out of it.”
Speech, language, reading, and writing are more connected than most people realize — and so are the struggles that come with them.
We specialize in bright kids whose challenges in these areas are often missed, and we address them at the root before they become bigger academic problems.
“As a speech therapist myself, I’m very particular when choosing a provider. After being disappointed elsewhere, I immediately saw the difference at Cheerful Chatter. Ellen’s approach goes deeper than what we experienced before—and the progress has been incredible. We are forever grateful.”

Training Beyond Traditional Speech Therapy
We may be the right speech therapist if your child…
Is roughly five to 18 years old
Has had speech therapy or tutoring before, but something still isn’t clicking
Is hard to understand, especially by people outside your family
Is suspecting of having or has been diagnosed with childhood apraxia of speech
Is bright — but struggles with reading, writing, dyslexia, or dysgraphia
We offer a different kind of speech therapy.
