Parent/Caregiver Coaching

Our coaching services are designed to empower the most important people in a child's life with the strategies to play, read, and interact with their child in meaningful ways. We are changing pediatric speech therapy by focusing on training and supporting those who spend the most time with their children: their parents and caregivers.

Family Empowerment
Scholarship

The Family Empowerment (previously known as Gardiner) Scholarship 

 provides eligible children (ages 3-22) scholarships for approved specialized services such as speech therapy. Play on Words Therapy Solutions is excited to be an approved Family Empowerment Scholarship Provider offering services in-home in the Tampa Bay area and online for children located anywhere in Florida.

Voluntary Prekindergarten SIS

Parents of 4-year-old children with special needs can access Voluntary Prekindergarten Specialized Instructional Services (VPK-SIS). This free program offers children the opportunity to receive private speech-language therapy during the year before kindergarten. If your child has a current IEP, you can choose VPK-SIS instead of traditional VPK programs.
