Effective communication opens new office for speech therapy | Business

Effective Communication, Huntsville’s most progressive specialists in speech and language delays and disorders for adults and children, has opened a new location at 285 Chateau Drive in Huntsville, located just across the street from Crestwood Hospital. With space for individual and group therapy, the new facility leaves adequate room for expansion, as Effective Communication pushes early intervention as the preferable approach to speech and language issues, making children the center focus of their practice. 

According to owner Traci Ingram, M.S. CCC/SLP, Effective Communication has added three new licensed speech therapists to their staff in order to make speech and language services more accessible in Madison County.

Sharing the facility with two medical practices that benefit patients with speech and language delays, Effective Communication provides an immediate, “right down the hall” source of therapy for patients with ear, nose, and throat issues.

“Parents are looking for effective treatment for their children when they see them struggling with speech or learning difficulties,” Ingram says. “Parents are the experts on their children and are key to helping us understand the problems. By building partnerships with the parents, we design an interactive treatment plan that benefits the child and involves the parents.”

Effective Communication’s team of Board certified speech therapists provides a warm, friendly learning environment for the child with an intense but child focused therapy program. Parents, pediatricians, pediatric dentists, daycare providers, tutors, and educators are all important factors in helping identify early signs of a child’s speech and language disorder.

Traci Ingram relocated Effective Communication to Huntsville from Atlanta in 2005. She graduated Cum Laude from the University of Alabama and earned a B.S. in Education majoring in Communicative Disorders with a Masters of Science in Speech-Language Pathology.
