Where Communication Begins with Connection
Offering in-home sessions in Elliston, VA and virtual therapy throughout Virginia.
Welcome to speech therapy that feels like home. I’m Kasey Thornton, a pediatric speech-language pathologist specializing in early language development, autism, and school-aged language disorders. Through play-based, child-led therapy, I support children and families on their communication journey in a way that’s fun, warm, and heartfelt.
At Kasey’s Communication Cottage, my mission is to help children grow their voices through playful, personalized speech therapy rooted in connection. I believe that communication starts with feeling safe, seen, and supported, and that’s exactly what I offer every child and family who walks through my (virtual or in-home) doors. With a foundation in trust and a heart for fun, I’m here to guide each child’s journey toward confident, functional communication.
