We Bring Speech Therapy to You!

Raver Speech Therapy offers convenient mobile speech therapy for kids in homes/schools/day cares in Howard County, Maryland, including Ellicott City, Elkridge, Columbia, and neighboring areas. We also offer teletherapy options for children across Maryland.

We Specialize in:

Speech Sound Disorders

Is the R sound particularly difficult for your child? Is a "slide" a "lide?" Do they have a lisp? These are just a few examples of the types of speech sound disorders that we treat.

Stuttering

Is stuttering affecting your child's self-esteem? We help children who stutter to communicate with greater ease and confidence through education, support, and empowerment.

Late Talkers

Worried that your toddler isn’t talking? We use play-based therapy and parent coaching to help your child learn and use more words. We will help you turn everyday routines into learning opportunities.

Meet Alison Raver, MS, CCC-SLP

Owner/Speech Therapist

Alison is a Maryland Licensed and American Speech-Language-Hearing Association Certified Speech-Language Pathologist with 26 years of experience. She earned her Master’s Degree in Speech-Language Pathology from Loyola College in Maryland (now University) in 2000. Throughout her career, Alison has worked in a variety of settings, including non-profit/private clinics, and public school systems in Maryland, New York, and New Zealand.

After successfully overcoming Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma between 2019 and 2020, Alison decided to pursue her long-held dream of establishing her own niche practice. She wanted to be able to build strong relationships with families and focus on the areas of the field that she enjoyed working with the most: speech sound disorders, stuttering, and speech delays. When you work with Raver Speech Therapy, you work with Alison from start to finish, as she is a one-woman practice.

Outside of work, Alison and her husband have three sons, ages 10, 14, and 18, and a wacky rescue dog. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, reading, traveling, mentoring and supporting cancer patients, and staying up-to-date with new therapy techniques, she is truly a "speech-nerd" and your child will benefit from her desire to learn new strategies.

"Rave" Reviews

"Alison worked virtually with our 5 year old daughter the summer before she entered Kindergarten. Alison was warm and kind, fun, engaging, and successful. Our daughter looked forward to her meetings with Alison. Alison has a whole host of games to help the kids practice their speech improvements, our girl didn’t even realize she was practicing- she just knew it was fun. Alison is very clear in helping parents assist the kiddos in practice with simple things you can do to practice while just driving in the car. Things went so smoothly that we finished well before the amount of time we thought it would take to tackle her speech issue. The only downside- our girl was upset she wouldn’t be having any more meetings with Alison. Highly recommend Alison!!!"
