About Kid's Abilities Indiana

Kids Abilities Indiana is a pediatric therapy clinic located on the south side of Indianapolis at 6825 Madison Avenue. The practice serves children from birth through age 21 and offers speech therapy alongside occupational therapy, feeding therapy, orofacial myology, and language and literacy group services. The clinic describes its work as focused on helping each child reach their potential through individualized goals designed around that child and family. Its overall approach emphasizes evaluation, family education, and treatment that supports communication, daily participation, and confidence in new or challenging situations.

Within speech therapy, Kids Abilities Indiana states that it works with a broad range of speech and language needs. The website specifically notes support for speech delays, articulation difficulties, stuttering, social pragmatic skills, and receptive and expressive language disorders. The clinic also presents speech therapy as a family-centered service in which therapists partner with caregivers in a playful, supportive setting to help children communicate more clearly and confidently. Related services further expand communication support. Feeding therapy addresses sensory and physical barriers that can make mealtimes hard, including concerns such as gagging, reflux, and selective eating, while also building oral motor strength and food variety. Orofacial myology focuses on patterns involving facial muscles and tongue function that affect breathing, swallowing, and speech. The language and literacy group uses interactive storytelling and phonological awareness activities to strengthen reading, writing, and expressive communication skills in a peer setting. The speech team listed on the site includes Monica Purdy, MA, CCC-SLP, COM and owner of Kids Abilities Indiana; Erin Hayes, M.S. CCC-SLP and Speech Therapy Team Lead; Ashley Ripperger, B.A., SLPA; and Ryan Foote, M.S., C.F.
