Our Mission

Moms Teach Speech is dedicated to empowering parents with the knowledge and resources they need to support their child's speech & language development. Our mission is to ensure that no child goes without the support they need to communicate effectively and reach their full potential. We believe the best way to accomplish this is by equipping parents with the same tools, strategies, and techniques we use as professional speech therapists, so they can use them to do speech at home.

Our Values

Empowerment & Impact

We are committed to empowering parents with the knowledge and resources they need to be fully confident in their mommy (or daddy) superpowers that allow them to support their child's development better than anyone else. 

Accessibility

We believe that all families that should have access to speech resources regardless of where they live, how long waitlists are, or whether insurance will approve treatment. Nothing should stand in the way of a child receiving the support they need.

Playfulness &
Fun

We aim to bring childlike fun and playfulness into everything we do. We believe it's how kids (and adults) learn and grow best.

Holistic Wellness

We are dedicated to supporting whole-person wellness (for kids and those caring for them) and believe a holistic approach may be the shift that's needed for a child who's been stuck to experience breakthroughs.

Family First

We believe that nothing is more important than family. Your dedication to yours is what makes you the best therapist your child will ever have. And we strive to treat everyone who enters our community like they're our family too.

Consistency & Sustainability

We are committed to helping parents practice speech in a way that feels simple, fun, and effective. We believe the best speech routine is one that fits so naturally into your life that practicing consistently is easy.   

Trust & Clarity

We understand there are many perspectives and approaches on the best ways to support a child's development. We respect differing beliefs and
aim to share our thoughts and opinions with love, respect, and clarity.

Responsibility & Freedom

We encourage parents to become the leaders of their child's therapy team, to do their own research, to think outside the box, and to make informed decisions about what's best for their child and family. 

About Our Founder

Emily Kukla, MA, CCC-SLP, is a speech therapist passionate about educating parents who have children with speech delays and improving the standard of care in the therapy world. 

​Her first year working as a speech therapist in the public schools, Emily noticed that the biggest difference between the kids who made lots of progress and the kids who didn't was whether they had a parent working on speech with them in between their school sessions. She realized that she could help kids make better progress by teaching parents simple strategies for supporting speech at home. Unfortunately, it wasn't standard practice to tell parents they needed to do speech with their kids every day, and there weren't many good resources to help them with that process. 

While searching for solutions to this issue, Emily discovered that there was a large community of parents online who desperately wanted to support their child's development, but who didn't know how or didn't have the resources to actually do it. To make matters worse, many of these parents had kids who were stuck on months or years-long waitlists, waiting on insurance approval that might never come, or lived in an area where they didn't even have the option of basic therapy services.

Emily founded Moms Teach Speech to help provide those families with the education and resources they needed to support their children effectively at home.

Shortly after, Emily found herself on a her own personal health journey, which led her into the world of functional medicine, nervous system regulation, and other facets of holistic health and wellness. While exploring ways to support her own health, she discovered that many parents were using that same root cause approaches with their kids who had speech delays, and they were seeing incredible results. She realized that this could be the missing piece for many kids who weren't making much progress with traditional therapy alone. 

Since that time, Emily has been studying and training in holistic health and wellness methods. She has become passionate about integrating these concepts into speech therapy practices and helping parents address the root causes of speech delays.
