Research shows that well-developed speech and language skills significantly impact a child's ability to become a competent reader and writer. Early intervention that addresses speech/language development, social emotional regulation and fine motor skills is key to building confidence in children ages 2 ½-5, and ensuring they are "kindergarten ready." As speech-language pathologists with over 50 years of combined experience - and working parents themselves - Cindy McKibben and Jenny Monte recognize the importance of effectively balancing work and family life. Collaborating with top tier daycares and preschools in the Columbus and Cleveland Ohio areas, McKibben & Monte’s team of passionate occupational and speech therapists provide assessments and therapy during the school day, bringing peace of mind to parents, and preserving valuable family time after work hours.
