New England Therapy Center

Talk. Play.

Grow.

New England Therapy Center is a pediatric speech-language therapy, occupational therapy, and mental health counseling practice serving Sudbury and the Boston MetroWest communities since 2015.

We have extensive experience supporting individuals with varying diagnoses, including Autism, ADD/ADHD, Apraxia of Speech, Sensory Processing Disorder, Pediatric Feeding Disorder, Cerebral Palsy, children who use AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication), and more.

Our incredible team of speech pathologists, occupational therapists, and mental health professionals work together to create the absolute best plan for your child. Our mission is to provide excellent individualized therapy in one place and to facilitate your child's ability to function successfully in his or her day-to-day life. We take a neurodiversity affirming approach to our therapies, meeting your child where they are each day. We strive to achieve these goals while creating a fun and playful environment and while including parents and caregivers in their child's therapeutic experience. We are very proud of our amazing therapists and the work that they do to help children achieve their maximum potential.

What Our Patients Are Saying

  • "My son has made great strides in NETC. We have made so much more progress in a short amount of time than with his school speech therapy alone. He has more confidence, self-awareness, and is empowered with the tools and techniques he has learned with his brilliant and engaging therapist at NETC. Safely in a remote learning setting, his therapist keeps him focused with new activities and makes the therapy sessions exciting for him. He looks forward to going every week. It is never a struggle to get him to concentrate, because he has so much fun!"

  • "Sarah puts so much love and dedication and hard work into the time that they spend together that my girls, if previously overwhelmed and tired, leave feeling happy and energized afterwards.They feel incredibly familiar and comfortable in her presence (sometimes too much and don't want to leave :) and I think that adds lots to learning and adopting new words and communication skills. It is amazing how much excitement Sarah shows to us on a weekly basis when the girls have a good session, new words or any kind of progress. Her knowledge and professionalism is impeccable. We know lots of amazing people that work and worked with our kids but Sarah is truly special and I can not be more grateful to have her on our team that really rocks with progress."

  • "Julie is absolutely wonderful to work with! She makes each session fun and engages our son in a variety of activities while still focusing on the therapeutic tasks at hand. She is very flexible in terms of her willingness to try new approaches and learn alternative methods of communication. We are very happy with her services and know we are in very capable hands!"

  • You have always done a fantastic job with my kids, and it’s why we make the drive to Sudbury - because you get results and my kids are happy to see Hanna. I think Hanna is patient, kind, and extremely good at her work. I have raved about your practice to friends.”

  • “You all have been beyond incredible. Both Ms. Lauren and Ms. Hanna were truly special. He looked forward to going to speech every day and they were both always smiling and eager to see us. His evolution was so fun to watch - thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making such a difference in all our lives.”
