Global Speech and Rehab Services is a Miami-based Speech-Language Therapy Center that focuses on empowering and equipping kids who have unique communication needs with the support, skills, and resources necessary for them to communicate and connect with the world.

We believe in the potential of every child – from every background – to become the very best versions of themselves. With the right support, we know that any child can build the skills they need to thrive. This is why we take a family-centered approach to therapy: we create a safe and supportive environment where each child and parent feels empowered. Our practice is built on inclusivity. We deliberately focus on serving traditionally underserved communities through our customized therapy experiences.

FAMILY FIRST

Family is at the center of our practice. We’ll meet you where you are and embrace your family as if it were our own.

DIVERSITY

EDUCATION

Informed people make better decisions and have greater impact. We’re devoted to transforming lives through learning.

GIVING BACK

Every action we take is focused on touching the lives of those in our community and making a bigger impact on the world.

OUR VISION

To create a safe space where every child, regardless of race, class, or creed, has the support and resources necessary to become the best versions of themselves.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to provide children from diverse backgrounds with the communication skills they need to thrive in the world and live full lives.
