Who We Help

Teens and young adults ages 14–22

WorkReady Speech Language serves adolescents and young adults who are building the communication skills they need for work, independence, and adult life — including those preparing for employment, learning to navigate new situations, developing self-advocacy, and applying language skills in real-world settings.

Services are provided virtually throughout Florida and are available through private pay or the Step Up for Students scholarship.

Our Approach

Individualized. Functional. Real-World.

Every session is built around what your teen or young adult actually needs.

WorkReady Speech Language takes a practical, goal-driven approach to communication therapy. Sessions focus on the real-world skills that matter most — from navigating a job interview to understanding a supervisor's instructions to advocating for accommodations in the workplace.

What is the RoleSwitching™ Framework?

RoleSwitching™ is a proprietary framework developed by Colleen Bennett, Ed.D., CCC-SLP, to help teens and young adults understand how communication expectations shift depending on who they're talking to, where they are, and what role they're playing.
