Communication from home to community
Deafinitely Communicating is a private speech and language therapy practice based in Mesa, Arizona. We specialize in services for Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals and their families utilizing a client-centered, bilingual/bimodal (American Sign Language/English) approach to language development to help establish a solid language foundation on which to build later communication, academic, and social skills.
We strongly believe that by prioritizing accessible language as early as possible, we are able to support overall development.
Services
We travel to our clients! We strive to provide services in the setting that is most comfortable and natural for our clients and their families.
This means therapy can happen literally anywhere - in home, in the community, or even online.
We currently provide in-person sessions in the Phoenix-metro and surrounding areas. Virtual services are available upon request.
