Well Played Pediatric Therapy is a child-led speech therapy practice in Mesa, Arizona, founded by speech-language pathologist Lindsay Garst, M.S., CCC-SLP. The practice supports young children’s speech, language, and social communication development through evidence-based, play-based therapy. Its services are designed primarily for toddlers and preschoolers, with the practice also noting support for school-age children. Areas addressed include speech sound development, language delays and disorders, early communication for late talkers, social communication, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), and autism-related communication.

Care is individualized around each child’s strengths, needs, interests, and goals. Families can begin with a free 15-minute phone consultation, followed when appropriate by a 75-minute play-based evaluation and ongoing 45-minute therapy sessions. Well Played emphasizes caregiver collaboration, offering strategies and support to help children use communication skills at home, school, and in social settings. Services are provided by appointment at the practice’s Mesa clinic, in a professional healthcare setting intended for focused pediatric care.
