Personalized Communication Support to Help Your Child Thrive
At Clever Bee Academy’s Columbus 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 in Columbus can feel overwhelming—especially when you want a provider who truly understands pediatric development and the nuances of neighborhoods like Linden, Hilltop, and the Short North. At Clever Bee Academy, we combine the warmth of a neighborhood clinic with clinical excellence. Our four centers—each conveniently located near major landmarks and COTA routes—are designed to feel like a home away from home, so your child learns in a familiar, secure environment.
Our Columbus speech therapy program is part of an Inclusion Model that integrates Speech-Language Pathology (SLP), Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), and Occupational Therapy (OT). That means while your child works on new sounds or sentence structure, their broader developmental needs—fine motor skills, social-interaction goals, and behavioral targets—are addressed all under one roof. No multi-location shuttling: just one cohesive, 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 Columbus SLPs stay current on pediatric best practices and local school standards, ensuring your child not only meets milestones but also thrives in the Columbus Public Schools system—and beyond.

Discover the exceptional early childcare and speech therapy programs Clever Bee Academy offers for young learners across Columbus, 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.
