OUR MISSION
We specialize in helping each client achieve their personal level of independence through individualized evaluation and treatment.
Infant Feeding
Are you and your infant struggling with breastfeeding? Did your child have a frenectomy and is still struggling to feed? Is your baby struggling with bottle feeding? We can help!
Oral Motor Therapy
This modality is appropriate for infants through ~4 years old, and targets coordination of oral musculature for feeding, chewing, saliva management, nasal breathing, and for speech sound production.
Educational Consulting
The special education process can be confusing and frustrating for parents. In some cases, inappropriate diagnoses and therapy are given to children in the schools. Our specialists, several of whom are special education teachers themselves, help parents navigate the system and become better advocates for their children. We can additionally offer record reviews and attend IEP meetings.

Emily Iverson – Founder
M.S., M.Ed., CCC-SLP, CBS, BCBA / LBA
Independence Therapy started as Little Voices Speech and Language Services in 2017 by Emily McCoy Iverson. Her mission – to help each client achieve their level of personal independence by providing highly individualized therapy tailored to each client. Emily was called to the therapy field when her younger sister was diagnosed with pervasive development disorder. At 7, Emily took to heart the speech therapist’s recommendations and helped her sister form her first words (the ABCs!). In high school, Emily volunteered with her sister’s former therapists and dreamed of opening her own therapy center ever since. Two masters degrees, one pandemic, and numerous certifications later, Emily opened the doors to Independence Therapy in February 2021. She is slowly and deliberately growing her team to maintain the excellent therapeutic quality provided by herself and her staff.
