You’re in the right place.

I provide play-based, neurodiversity-affirming speech and language therapy for children in Colorado, in person or through secure online sessions. I meet your child where they are and help them grow in a way that feels natural, respectful, and supportive.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions are guided by your child’s strengths, interests, and communication style rather than rigid programs or compliance-based goals. Together, we focus on building confidence and real-world communication skills that support your child at home, school, and in everyday life.

If you’re just beginning to explore support or looking for a more personalized approach, you don’t have to navigate this alone.

Finding the right support for your child can feel overwhelming.

Between long waitlists, rigid therapy models, and one-size-fits-all goals, your family can end up feeling unsure, and your child can end up misunderstood.

When support focuses on compliance instead of connection, your child’s strengths, communication style, and potential may be overlooked. That can leave you questioning whether they’re making the right choices, even when you’re doing everything they can. I know you are.

You’re not alone, and your child isn’t the problem. The right care should feel supportive, respectful, and aligned with who your child already is.

MY APPROACH

Focusing on Strengths, Not Fixes

Every child communicates in their own way–this is a gift to nurture, not “fix.” My strengths-based approach creates a space where your child’s self-discovery feels natural, joyful, and full of possibility.

CORE VALUES

I believe…

Hi, I’m Ryan!

I FOUNDED DAILEY COMMUNICATION BECAUSE EVERY CHILD DESERVES TO BE SEEN, HEARD, AND EMBRACED FOR WHO THEY ARE.

Growing up neurodivergent myself, I faced many of the same challenges your child might be experiencing now. My experience taught me that no one deserves to feel misunderstood and that every child has the capacity to connect in a way that’s meaningful to them.

Since earning my Master’s degree in Communication Disorders in 2011, I’ve dedicated over a decade to helping children learn and grow in various environments: Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Children’s Hospital of Colorado, schools, homes, and private practices—including effective teletherapy for remote communities.

I use evidence-based, neurodiversity-affirming approaches that value your child’s individuality. Together, we’ll partner up to discover your child’s one-of-a-kind qualities and make sure they feel uplifted every step of the way. 

It’s also my job to provide you with more knowledge, new strategies, and the support you need to advocate for your child. You’ll walk away equipped with the tools to navigate this journey with more clarity.

I promise you: your child can communicate confidently–without being forced into a mold that doesn’t honor their way of being.
