Our space

The O Kipos Tou Logou is a specialized speech therapy center that works with children. The vision behind this center was to create a space of expression, understanding, communication and respect both for the individuals receiving therapy and for their families, as well as to actively contribute, through scientific methods, to the development of communication and language of those receiving therapy, with the aim of improving their quality of life and that of their families. Thus, in our space, speech therapy is a beautiful journey filled with laughter, play, and scientific approach.

Our services

In our space, both the director, Mrs. Vanesa Stavrakaki, and her associates ensure that they receive supervision and attend seminars, as they believe that knowledge is endless. Appointments are scheduled upon communication. At the first appointment, a full case history is taken and an evaluation is conducted using standardized tests. Afterwards, a phone or in-person meeting with the child’s parents/caregivers takes place, where the intervention plan is created. Later, reevaluations are conducted to monitor the progress of the intervention.

The services provided are the following:

→ Parent counseling

• Phonological - Articulatory Disorder
• Language Delay
• Developmental Language Disorder
