The CloudSpeech Intensive
12 sessions in one month for kids 5+ in TX, CA, WA, NY & FL
What Is the CloudSpeech Intensive?
The CloudSpeech Intensive is a focused block of therapy: 12 one-on-one sessions, three times a week, over one month. It's built for kids working on /R/, lisps, or childhood apraxia of speech who are ready for more practice than a typical schedule allows.
$1,200 for 12 sessions, discounted and paid up front, to support higher frequency and achieve the goals you’ve been looking for faster.
CloudSpeech built Intensives for families who:
Have tried typical therapy schedules and want more focused practice
Want a defined block of therapy with a clear start and end date
Have a child working on /R/, a lisp, or childhood apraxia of speech
Can commit to three sessions a week for one month
Why Do Intensives Work?
Weekly therapy can feel slow. Often, it's not the child. It's the schedule.
Speech sounds are motor skills. Producing them accurately means the brain has to build and reinforce a new movement pattern, the same way a golf swing or a piano piece gets built through repetition. One session a week gives that pattern one practice window, with six days of drift in between. Three sessions a week gives it three, with daily home practice filling the gaps.
Research on speech therapy points the same way:
Greater treatment intensity has been linked to greater gains for children with speech sound disorders.
Preschoolers who received their sessions three times a week did better than children who received the same number of sessions once a week.
Young children with CAS seen twice a week made bigger gains than children seen once a week.
Research on the best schedule is still growing, and not every study agrees. Every child's progress is different, which is why your child's plan is built around them.
Science and an Art
First, the drills. The same shot, over and over, with a coach giving feedback on every try. That's how an Intensive starts: lots of practice on one sound, with clear, immediate correction.
Then, the scrimmage. Drills turn into plays. The coach steps back, and the player starts noticing their own mistakes. In therapy, sounds move into words, phrases, and conversation, and your child does more of the self-correcting.
Finally, the game. No coach calling out cues. Just the skill, working on its own, at the dinner table, on the playground, and in the classroom.
That's the science. The art is knowing when to hold a target steady and when to mix it up, when to give feedback and when to let a child self-correct. No worksheet can standardize that. It takes a therapist who knows the research and knows your child.
Think of it like training for basketball.
That's carryover, and it's the whole goal: not perfect sounds with a therapist watching, but accurate speech nobody's coaching, at the dinner table, on the playground, and in the classroom.
Intensives for Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS)
Children with CAS usually do best with frequent therapy, but keeping up a high-frequency schedule month after month isn't realistic for every family. The CloudSpeech Intensive gives your child a month of frequent, focused practice when your family can fit it in. In between, your child can continue at a lower frequency, then come back for another Intensive when the timing is right.
After the Intensive
When the month is done, your child can continue with pay-as-you-go sessions or take a break to practice at home. You can come back for another Intensive whenever it makes sense for your child, schedule, and budget.
It starts with a free Welcome Visit. We'll talk about your concerns, do a brief screening, and help you decide whether the Intensive is the right fit. No commitment, no surprises.
