About Ann Arbor Speech & Language Therapy Center, LLC

Ann Arbor Speech & Language Therapy Center, LLC is a private speech-language practice in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with an office on Washtenaw Avenue. The clinic provides speech, language, and voice services for children, teens, and adults. Care starts with a brief phone consultation before any evaluation or treatment is scheduled. From there, the practice offers several assessment options, including a comprehensive speech and language evaluation, a focused speech sound production evaluation, and a behavioral and qualitative voice and resonance evaluation. Ongoing therapy is delivered through individual sessions that are planned around the person’s communication goals, and the website emphasizes that regular attendance and home practice are important parts of making progress. The clinic also notes that voice and resonance evaluations may be relevant for concerns such as cleft palate, velopharyngeal dysfunction, vocal nodules, other voice disorders, degenerative neurological conditions, and exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction, with an ENT airway examination required before that evaluation.

The practice was founded by Laura Donoghue, M.A., CCC-SLP, a licensed and certified speech-language pathologist. Her background includes work in pediatric hospital care, school consulting, and pediatric rehabilitation before moving full time into private practice. The website describes her therapy as evidence-based and tailored to the individual, with experience across communication needs that include oro-myofunctional disorders, apraxia of speech, persistent speech sound disorders, and voice-related concerns. Treatment planning may incorporate PROMPT, DTTC, PECS, and AAC or speech-generating applications when appropriate. Ann Arbor Speech presents its mission as helping improve communication, relationships, and learning through professional therapy delivered in a supportive and honest setting, while also sharing resources and guidance with caregivers and other professionals beyond the treatment room. That practical focus is also reflected in the clinic’s policies, which highlight home exercises, consistent attendance, and use of the Practice Better portal for scheduling, billing, and client communication.
