Speech, Language, & Feeding Therapy for New Orleans Kids

Therapy rooted in play, designed to support the whole child and the people who love them.

WELCOME

to Spark Pediatric Therapy

At Spark Pediatric Therapy, we believe every child deserves to feel confident, connected, and understood. We’re a locally owned private practice offering play-based, child-led therapy that’s built around your child’s strengths—not just their goals. Our sessions are individualized, evidence-based, and neurodiversity-affirming, because we know there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to communication.

We value every voice, every perspective, and every way of thinking. That’s why we work hand-in-hand with families—so you feel supported, empowered, and deeply involved in your child’s progress. Whether we’re building first words, trying new foods, or making progress you didn’t think was possible, our goal is simple:

To spark confidence and communication—in every child, every step of the way.

About Us

Speech & Language Therapy

Every child deserves to be heard—and understood.

We support communication from the ground up, including receptive language (understanding words), expressive language (using words), speech sounds, grammar, literacy, and social skills.

Learn More

Myofunctional
Therapy

The way your child breathes, chews, and sleeps matters.

We address the underlying oral motor patterns that impact feeding, speech, airway health, and more—including tongue ties and oral habits. Myofunctional therapy can support long-term wellness, one small change at a time.

Feeding
Therapy

Mealtimes shouldn’t feel like a struggle.

We support children who have challenges with chewing, swallowing, food variety, or oral-motor coordination—using gentle, individualized therapy to make eating a more enjoyable (and less stressful) part of your family’s day.

Where We See Kids

Clinic • Preschool & Daycare • School • Online

Our Uptown New Orleans clinic was thoughtfully designed to be a sensory-supportive, play-based space where kids can feel safe, engaged, and empowered to grow. From flexible seating to sensory tools, our environment supports regulation and connection at every step.

We also offer on-site services at select schools and daycares across the Greater New Orleans area.

Online teletherapy services are available to all residents of Louisiana and offer added convenience for busy families.

Whether your child thrives in a structured therapy room or a movement-friendly space, Spark is built to meet them where they are—with care that’s clinically sound, emotionally attuned, and joyfully delivered.
