Meeks Speaks is a speech-language therapy practice based in Nashville, Tennessee. The practice is owned and operated by Erica N. Meeks, M.S., CCC-SLP, a licensed speech-language pathologist who provides evaluation and therapy services for individuals ages 2 through adulthood. Sessions are tailored to each client’s needs and are offered at home, in schools, or virtually, serving the Nashville area.
Services
Meeks Speaks structures its work around four service stages. A Consultation is described as “a dedicated meeting to discuss concerns about speech and language development.” A Screening is “an initial check to identify potential speech or language difficulties.” A formal Assessment combines standardized tests with language and speech samples, observation, case history, a parent interview, and a teacher interview. Therapy is then delivered as “personalized speech therapy for individuals ages 2 through adulthood,” with sessions tailored to each client.
Therapy sessions are offered at a frequency of one to three times per week, with twice per week noted as the most popular option. Three session lengths are available: full sessions of 50 minutes, half sessions of 25 minutes, and quarter sessions of 15 minutes. Services can be provided in the home, in schools, or virtually.
The practice addresses a wide range of treatment areas, including adult language disorders, aphasia, apraxia, auditory processing disorder, autism, child and preschool language disorders, cleft lip and palate, cognitive-communication disorders, dementia, dysarthria, pragmatic language disorders, social communication disorders, severe disabilities, speech sound disorders, stuttering, traumatic brain injury, and voice disorders. The practice also offers accent modification and public speaking improvement. Specific focus areas noted include sound and letter pronunciation, sentence formation, word recall and expression, public speaking anxiety, and social communication.
