The Power of Speech

The Power of Speech is a pediatric therapy practice in Marblehead offering speech therapy, occupational therapy, feeding therapy, physical therapy, play and talk therapy, and infant and toddler massage. It uses a neurodiversity-affirming approach that values each child’s personality, and it designs sessions to be fun and interactive so children look forward to coming each week. Its mission is to help children interact with the world confidently and learn new skills in ways that work for them.

Each discipline targets different needs: clearer speech and understanding language, emotional regulation and sensory and motor skills, safer and more varied eating, strength and coordination, and mental health support from a licensed clinical social worker. Infant and toddler massage, led by a physical therapist, aims to promote relaxation, digestion and body awareness. Therapists also coach parents and teachers through the IEP and 504 process and can visit schools for evaluations, therapy or consultations.
