Stidham Speech Therapy

Stidham Speech Therapy is a private pediatric speech therapy practice led by Prentiss Stidham, serving families in Maryville, Alcoa, and Knoxville, Tennessee. The practice focuses on evaluating and treating children with speech sound disorders and language impairments, with services tailored to each child’s needs.

Areas of specialization include articulation delays, phonological disorders, childhood apraxia of speech, stuttering, and receptive and expressive language disorders. Families can begin with a 15-minute screening to learn whether a child’s speech development appears age-appropriate. A comprehensive speech-language evaluation is required before therapy, and treatment plans are based on its findings.

Therapy is available in the home or at a child’s daycare, with teletherapy also offered. The practice highlights the role of communication in children’s social interactions, behavior, and academic development, including early literacy skills. Stidham Speech Therapy also provides helpful resources, including new-client forms, and invites caregivers to get in touch with questions about their child’s speech or language. Prentiss Stidham is identified as ASHA certified.
