At Honeysuckle Speech Therapy in Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho, children receive high-quality, individualized care designed to support meaningful progress. Unlike many clinics that schedule brief 30-minute sessions, Laiken Gallis, MS, CCC-SLP, provides extended 45-minute therapy appointments at no additional cost to families. This added time allows for deeper engagement, more 1:1 interaction with a licensed therapist, and more effective treatment outcomes—prioritizing quality of care over the quantity of visits.

Honeysuckle Speech Therapy specializes exclusively in speech disorders and literacy challenges in children, including reading and writing. Because these areas often overlap, narrowing the focus allows for advanced continuing education and a high level of clinical expertise. When a child presents with both a speech disorder and a language delay, language therapy is integrated seamlessly into the treatment plan. All services are delivered by Laiken, who is an ASHA-Certified Speech-Language Pathologist, to ensure trusted, professional care.

Families also benefit from flexible scheduling options. With every major season change, parents are welcome to adjust session times to accommodate school schedules, summer activities, sports, and even winter driving conditions. Teletherapy is available for established clients when needed.

Honeysuckle Speech Therapy follows a truly family-centered philosophy. Parents, siblings, and even grandparents are encouraged to participate in sessions, helping them learn strategies to support skill development at home. Therapy is personalized, play-based, and themed around each child’s interests, holidays, and seasons—making every session engaging, meaningful, and fun.

At Honeysuckle Speech Therapy, children are supported, families are empowered, and progress is celebrated every step of the way.

More
We are pleased to offer specialized Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist services in North Idaho! Honeysuckle Speech Therapy specializes in developmental childhood speech disorders, which often present as difficulty pronouncing one or more sounds when speaking. 

Our average client is between the ages of 3 and 12 years old, however we will accept children with persistent speech delay until age 18. Children must have established some verbal language skills as a prerequisite to speech sound production / articulation therapy at our practice. In addition to speech sound disorders, we provide evaluation and treatment of literacy disorders in the school age child, as children who experience a speech delay in toddlerhood are at higher risk for experiencing difficulty learning to read and write once they reach school age. 
Speech Development

Speech development services can help children and adolescents build clear, confident communication skills. We provide personalized therapy to support articulation, sound production, fluency, and overall speech clarity. Using evidence-based techniques and a warm, encouraging approach, we help clients strengthen their speech abilities and reach important communication milestones. Whether addressing early developmental needs or improving speech later in life, our team is dedicated to helping every individual express themselves with ease and confidence.

Reading

Children who experience speech sound delays as toddlers and into the school-age years often experience additional difficulty learning to read and write. Our reading services help children and adolescents build the literacy foundations they need for lifelong learning. Using evidence-based strategies, we support skills like phonemic awareness, decoding, fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. Each treatment plan is directly tailored to your child’s strengths and challenges, creating a supportive, confidence-building environment. 

Language Development

Language development services are designed to help children build strong communication skills at every stage. Through personalized, play-based therapy, the team supports growth in vocabulary, grammar, comprehension, and expressive language. Whether a child is experiencing delays or simply needs extra support, services are tailored to their unique needs, helping them communicate confidently at home, in school, and in social settings.

Writing

Children with speech or sound delays often experience difficulties with writing. Our writing services support students who struggle with organizing ideas, forming sentences, using proper grammar, and expressing themselves clearly on paper. We use structured, evidence-based strategies to build strong foundational writing skills while boosting confidence and independence. From early writing development to more advanced academic needs, we help learners plan, compose, revise, and communicate their thoughts effectively. Our goal is to make writing feel accessible, manageable, and empowering for every student.
