Your Child's Voice Beyond Words, Empowering Communication
Every child has something to say — and every child deserves to be heard. Our speech-language pathologists go beyond spoken words to unlock each child's fullest potential for connection, expression, and self-advocacy, through whatever communication means works best for them.

Schedule NowOur Mission
Speech Therapy. The LEEAP Way.
At The LEEAP Center, our speech-language pathologists provide exceptional therapy services that help children improve their overall communication skills. We identify each child's most effective mode of communication and build upon their baseline skills to help them reach their full potential.
Parent engagement is a core component of successful therapy outcomes. We work alongside parents and caregivers to encourage collaboration and skill generalization in the home setting — because the real magic happens between sessions, in everyday life.
As Charlotte's premier interdisciplinary therapy hub, our SLPs work hand-in-hand with our OTs, PTs, psychologists, and BCBAs — ensuring your child receives truly integrated, whole-child care.
Child-Centered & Family-Focused
Every care plan is built around your child's unique strengths, communication style, and goals — with you as an essential partner.
Evidence-Based Practice
Our SLPs use the most current, research-supported treatment approaches — from PROMPT and ReST for apraxia to DTTC and AAC implementation.
Interdisciplinary Collaboration
Our SLPs collaborate directly with OTs, PTs, psychologists, and BCBAs — creating a seamlessly integrated care experience for your child.
Committed to Accessibility
We accept most major insurance plans and are committed to ensuring every child in Charlotte has access to quality speech therapy.

Our Approach in Practice
Communication Tools for Every Child
From AAC devices and core boards to play-based sessions and technology-assisted therapy, our team meets every child exactly where they are.
Our ACT NOW early intervention program provides free speech and language screenings to identify concerns early — because earlier support means better outcomes.
High-tech AAC devices give every child a reliable voice, regardless of verbal ability.
Our SLPs collaborate with families and caregivers to carry progress beyond the therapy room.
Low-tech AAC tools like core boards give children immediate access to high-frequency words for daily communication.
