Reach for the Stars, LLC has been a leader in the field of pediatric speech, language, and feeding therapy for nearly 25 years. What began as a small private practice in 2002 in its first location in Staten Island (formerly known as Speech and Language Therapy Associates of Staten Island), has grown into a large group practice serving several locations throughout NY and NJ.

Our clinical team is composed of highly qualified NYS/NJS licensed and ASHA certified speech-language pathologists with diverse training and clinical backgrounds in a variety of sub-specialty areas. This includes childhood articulation and language disorders, motor-speech disorders, voice and resonance disorders, fluency disorders, complex feeding disorders, dysphagia, and tube dependency. We consider the sensory, motor, oral, behavioral/learning, medical, and nutritional needs of each client when designing a course of treatment.

We work collaboratively with many of the best clinics and practices within the NYC Metropolitan area, and pride ourselves on repeat referrals from some of the finest institutions throughout the city for post-surgical treatment for cleft palate repair, velo-pharyngeal insufficiency, and laryngeal pathology.

Our therapists also possess training in some of the most sought-after therapeutic approaches. This includes PROMPT to treat apraxia of speech, Orton-Gillingham and Wilson for literacy disorders, SOS Feeding Approach to treating feeding disorders, and myofunctional therapy to treat orofacial-myofunctional disorders. Some of our therapists are also trained in techniques such as ABA and Verbal Behavior.

Please note that all providers have different specialties, so when you contact us, feel free to discuss your unique needs with our office.
