Florida Accent Training

and Speech Therapy

Beach House Therapy Services is a boutique speech/language private practice based in Winter Garden, Florida. We provide accent/dialect training services to professionals who want to improve their confidence by speaking clearly and naturally. Additionally, we also help older children who have speech, language, and literacy needs.

Our Services

  • Accent/dialect coaching and skill training is for advanced English language learners who are seeking to improve their confidence and naturalness when using higher level speech skills such as pronunciation, intonation, stress patterns, and domain-specific vocabulary for general American English.

  • Literacy includes reading (“decoding” or the ability to sound out words), comprehension (understanding meaning of what we read), and the ability to convey our thoughts in written form.

  • Speech therapy is what most people think about when they hear the phrase “speech therapy.” This can be for pronunciation goals such as improving the /r/ sound in “rabbit,” the /s/ sound in “sun, etc.” Speech is “how” we communicate.

  • Language therapy is “what” we communicate. This involves areas such as vocabulary, answering questions, using correct grammar including past tense verbs in sentences, etc.
