Speech Therapy That Meets Your Child Where They Are
Warm, play-based, neurodiversity-affirming speech-language therapy for children and families in Queens, New York.
A Different Kind of Speech Therapy
At Ms. Jocelyn Speech, therapy isn't one-size-fits-all. Every child is unique, and every session is built around your child's interests, strengths, and communication style.
Jocelyn Kupperman is an ASHA-certified, New York State licensed speech-language pathologist with over 20 years of experience working with children and families. She is DIR/Floortime certified and PROMPT trained, bringing a strong foundation in relationship-based, neurodiversity-affirming, and motor-based approaches to speech and language development. Her approach is child-led, play-based, relationship-focused, and family-centered because the best progress happens when children feel safe, seen, understood, and supported. Therapy is individualized to each child’s unique strengths, communication style, sensory needs, and goals, with an emphasis on building meaningful communication skills that carry over into everyday life.
How We Work Together
Play-Based
Learning happens best through play. Sessions are designed to be fun, engaging, and meaningful to your child.
Neurodiversity-Affirming
We celebrate every child's unique way of thinking and communicating, building on strengths rather than focusing on deficits.
Family-Centered
You know your child best. Families are active partners in the therapy process every step of the way.
Relationship-Focused
A trusting, warm relationship between therapist and child is the foundation of meaningful progress.
