Personalized Communication Support to Help Your Child Thrive
At Clever Bee Academy’s Akron centers, our brand-new Speech Therapy for Children program offers evidence-based, play-driven sessions that boost confidence, language skills, and lifelong communication success.
Finding the right speech therapy for your child in Akron can feel overwhelming—especially when you want someone who truly understands both pediatric development and our local Akron community. At Clever Bee Academy, we combine the warmth of a neighborhood clinic with clinical excellence. Located near Highland Square and just a short drive from the Akron Art Museum and Lock 3 Park, our Akron centers are designed to feel like a home away from home.
Here in Akron, where every neighborhood tells its own story—from the historic charm of Firestone Park to the natural beauty of Cuyahoga Valley National Park—our SLPs (Speech-Language Pathologists) tailor therapy to your child’s personality, habits, and day-to-day routines.
Our Akron speech therapy program for children is part of our larger Inclusion Model, which seamlessly integrates Speech Language Pathology with Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Occupational Therapy (OT). This holistic approach means that while your child practices new sounds or builds sentence structure in speech sessions, their broader developmental needs—fine-motor control, social-interaction skills, and behavioral goals—are addressed under one roof.
You don’t have to shuttle between multiple offices; instead, we collaborate across disciplines to craft a truly individualized plan.
Give your child the chance to grow in an environment where their age-appropriate development is prioritized. Know more about our educational programs for toddlers.

Whether your child is two or twelve, preparing to start preschool or heading into fifth grade, early intervention is key. Research shows that children who receive targeted speech therapy by age four often close communication gaps and enter kindergarten with stronger social and academic readiness.
At Clever Bee, our Akron SLPs stay current on pediatric best practices and local school standards, ensuring your child not only meets milestones but also thrives in the Akron Public Schools system—and beyond.
Discover the exceptional early childcare and speech therapy programs Clever Bee Academy offers for young learners across Akron, Ohio:
We use auditory‑motor integration and visual cues to help children produce sounds accurately, whether they’re practicing “r” at the dinner table or mastering final consonants in their favorite Cleveland-themed picture book.
Through structured play and narrative building, we expand your child’s vocabulary and sentence complexity—so they can share stories about school projects at East Tech or explain their latest creation at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Our fluency specialists employ gentle, evidence‑based strategies—like paced speech and breathing exercises—to reduce hesitations, helping children speak with confidence whether they’re presenting show-and-tell or chatting with new classmates.
From turn‑taking practice inspired by Cleveland Browns board games to role‑playing healthy peer interactions on the playground at Gordon Square, we guide children through the unwritten rules of conversation and empathy.
We collaborate with leading providers like OnTargetABA and Therpeds to deliver top-tier services, including ABA Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, trauma support, developmental assessments, and rapid evaluations. Early intervention is key, and we’re dedicated to starting support as soon as possible.
