About Sunflower Speech & Reading, LLC

Sunflower Speech & Reading, LLC is a pediatric speech-language and reading practice based in Harper Woods, Michigan, in the Baker-Hopp Building. The clinic offers in-person services for families in the Metro Detroit area and also provides online speech therapy for clients anywhere in Michigan. Its services are centered on children and include speech therapy, language therapy, reading therapy, evaluations, and parent consultation. The website states that care may address speech and language impairments, dyslexia and other reading difficulties, articulation and phonology concerns, late talking, expressive and receptive language needs, apraxia, decoding, comprehension, and developmental delays. The practice also notes that speech, language, and reading goals can be combined within one session when appropriate for the child.

The practice is owned by Katie Kaufmann, M.A., CCC-SLP, an ASHA-certified speech therapist and Brain Friendly Reading and Dyslexia Specialist. Sunflower Speech & Reading describes its approach as individualized and family-centered, with assessment and treatment built around each child’s strengths, areas of need, interests, and daily routines. Evaluations may include standardized and informal assessment as well as parent input, with written results used to guide therapy planning. Treatment sessions are designed to be engaging, using activities such as games, books, songs, and other motivating materials. The clinic also incorporates parent coaching and home practice when appropriate. For reading intervention, the website explains that it uses the Brain Friendly Reading framework, described as an Orton-Gillingham based approach that targets decoding, spelling patterns, vocabulary, and reading fluency through direct, cumulative instruction. The overall message of the practice is early, practical support for communication and literacy development so children can build stronger skills in both speaking and reading.
