About
TALK Therapy Services provides speech, language and occupational therapy services to area public school systems, daycares, preschools and private schools.
TALK (Teaching Articulation and Language to Kids) was established in 2000 by Caroline Rice Harding.
Being a local, privately owned practice, one of our main strengths is our flexibility and hands-on approach.
The relationships we have with the local communities, school systems, parents, teachers, and children are the foundation of everything we do.
We maintain these relationships through excellent therapists, great customer service, communication, and a hands on approach to problem solving.
All speech, language and occupational therapists hold a master's degree, state licensure, and national certification from the American Speech-Language Hearing Association.
What People Are Saying About Talk Therapy Services
“We love the experience we’ve had with TALK. Our son has been working with Virginia since June and has showed HUGE improvement since he began. He was receiving therapy through another source throughout the previous year and demonstrated very little progress during that time. Once we switched to TALK, we noticed immediate results. Virginia has been extremely kind and inviting, which has made a big difference. Our son is always happy to go and feels rewarded for his efforts. Virginia always does a great job sending tips and materials home to work with and sends regular updates and progress reports. We would happily recommend TALK to anyone who is looking for a quality speech therapy experience!”
— Laura P., Richmond, Virginia
”The service performed by speech pathologists with TALK, L.C. has been outstanding. One of the most important tasks that schools face is communication—with parents, caregivers, and families, as well as student communication with peers and teachers. Research shows that expressive communication skills are one of the most important factors in school success. TALK, L.C. has helped transform students into confident communicators, as well as inform adult caregivers of children’s needs and progress in a positive manner.”
— Susan Hill, Director Creative Learning Center
“It is always hectic when you have to contract out a service and not hire the employee yourself. Caroline Harding ensures that this process goes as smoothly as possible and provides highly professional staff. The therapists that have been provided to me from TALK have a great attendance record. The therapists also have the ability to communicate effectively with parents, teachers, and other staff members.I recommend TALK without reservations. They are truly a wonderful company to work with. The therapists provided are competent and highly motivated. It has truly been a wonderful school year”
— Carrie Mouser Gravely, Director of Special Education, Nottoway County Public Schools
