  • “Her teacher mentioned at pickup: ‘Have you thought about a speech evaluation?’”
  • “I translate for grandparents, waiters, other kids. I’m the only one who understands him.”
  • “He’s almost two. He points, pulls my hand, melts down, but the words aren’t coming.”

Any one of these can turn out to be a passing phase, or the first sign of a real communication delay. You cannot tell which from the outside, and neither can a milestone chart. An evaluation can, and asking costs nothing.

Why Tempe parents bring therapy home.

one

No waiting rooms. No traffic on the 60.

Sessions happen in your home or your child’s childcare, where their toys, routines, and everyday communication already live. Skills are practiced in the places where they are most likely to be used.

two

Care that feels familiar and consistent.

We prioritize continuity whenever possible, giving your child time to build trust with a therapist who understands their interests, communication, and goals. When a change is needed, we make the transition thoughtful and supported.

three

Practical guidance for everyday life.

We keep you informed about what we are working on and share realistic ways to support communication during routines like play, meals, reading, and getting ready. Suggestions are tailored to your child and your family.

More child-started moments

Less guessing

Calmer everyday routines

Progress that carries over

This is Madison,
the SLP behind
Social House Therapy.

For Madison Jeffery, CCC-SLP, speech therapy has always been about more than words. As a child, she worked with a speech-language pathologist who helped her connect more meaningfully with the people around her. That experience shaped her career and the belief behind Social House Therapy: communication begins with feeling seen, understood, and supported.

Madison previously worked in the Kyrene School District, so she knows the schools Tempe families navigate. We can coordinate with teachers and IEP teams in the Tempe Elementary, Kyrene, and Tempe Union districts, and with other teams across the valley.

“If you’re needing speech therapy services for your child, I highly recommend Social House Therapy.”

Brooklyn and Madison are so kind and helpful. I’ve already noticed a difference in my son’s enunciation. If your child receives services during the school year, this is a great way to continue over the summer. If you homeschool like I do, this is a convenient way to receive services, and they accept ESA.

“She teaches her students how to be confident with their language and is so positive!”

Maddison has worked with my son for two years. She is so patient and kind and really knows how to connect with her students. He came to her with a stutter and will often remind me of the language he uses with her in class. As a parent, we love to see our son be confident about his speech, and Maddison helps us support him throughout this process.

Cynthia L. · Parent★★★★★
“Speech can be stressful, but my son looked forward to his sessions!”

Madison worked with my son and was SO kind, patient and knowledgeable. Always listening to his needs as well as my concerns, and making sure we were always aware of his goals and progress towards them. I would highly recommend this company.

Answers for Tempe families.

Yes. We offer three options: in-home in Tempe and nearby areas; on-site at preschool, childcare, and ABA centers, subject to facility approval; and telehealth statewide across Arizona. Some families use a combination of in-home and telehealth services when clinically appropriate and scheduling allows.
Start with a free 15-minute consultation. We’ll listen to your concerns, answer initial questions, and recommend the most appropriate next step. If an evaluation is recommended, we’ll help you schedule it. If your child completed a comprehensive evaluation within the last six months, we can review it to determine whether it meets current clinical and documentation needs.
You are welcome to contact us directly. A medical or developmental diagnosis is not required to schedule a consultation or speech-language evaluation. We are currently a private-pay practice, and no referral is needed for private-pay clients.
Every cost is reviewed with you before anything is scheduled. The pricing section on this page lists evaluation and therapy rates.
At this time, we are a private-pay practice and do not bill insurance directly. We accept Arizona ESA (ClassWallet) funding, HSA and FSA funds, and all major debit and credit cards, and we can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
Yes, and we love to. With your written permission, we’re glad to collaborate with teachers and IEP teams in the Tempe Elementary, Kyrene, and Tempe Union districts, along with your child’s pediatrician, occupational and physical therapists, ABA team, and childcare providers. When everyone is working toward the same goals, your child hears the same expectations at home, at school, and in session.
Right now, every session is provided by a licensed speech-language pathologist. As our team grows, sessions may also be provided by a speech-language pathology assistant or a student clinician, always under the supervision of a certified SLP. You will know who your child is working with before the first session.
That’s okay. Children do not need to sit at a table or participate in a specific way for therapy to be valuable. We use movement, play, preferred activities, and your child’s interests to build connection and work toward meaningful goals.
We believe different brains and communication styles belong. Our goal is not to make a child appear more typical. Instead, we support communication, autonomy, regulation, participation, and self-advocacy in ways that respect who your child already is.

One call. Fifteen minutes. A clear next step for your child.

Call, text, or use the contact form. Pick a day, we come to you, and you know the full cost before anything is scheduled. No referral needed.
