About Me

I am Lilly Arthur, M.A., CCC-SLP, a licensed Speech Language Pathologist with more than five years of experience with supporting the communication needs of children ages 3-18. I earned both my Bachelor's Degree (2017) and my Master's degree (2021) from the University of Cincinnati. At Beyond Words Communication, I prioritize building meaningful connections and take a whole-child approach to develop confidence and effective communication skills.

I focus on helping children communication with confidence in ways that work best for them. I support speech sound development to improve intelligibility, as well as expressive and receptive language skills so children can understand and share their thoughts, needs, ideas, and knowledge. I also work with children who experience social communication differences, building skills for connection, conversation, and navigating everyday interactions. Taking a Total Communication approach, I use AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) to ensure every child has a voice, whether that be through verbal speech, gestures, visuals, or a Speech-Generating Device.

My approach is compassionate and individualized, fostering a supportive environment where children can thrive and develop their communication skills with confidence.

What age groups do you serve?

I provide speech therapy services for children aged 2 to 18, addressing a variety of speech and language challenges.

Where do you provide services?

The greater Cincinnati area. I will come to you! I am happy to provide speech therapy in your home, in the place your child feels most comfortable. If you would rather meet at a different location, we can meet at your closest library branch. I also provide teletherapy sessions through a secure video platform.

What types of speech and language impairments do you treat?

Our services cover articulation and phonological impairments, expressive and receptive language impairments, as well as support for AAC and total communication needs.

Do you accept insurance?

Not at this time.

I provide private-pay therapy services.

What can I expect during the first therapy session?

The first session will focus on getting to know your child, and discussing your concerns and goals for your child. This will allow me to develop the a plan to best support your child's communication skills.

This may involve completing an evaluation and observing your child during play-based activities.
