Speech Therapy Designed for Weston Families
Weston is a community filled with growing families, and every child reaches communication milestones in their own way. Some children begin talking later than expected, while others may have difficulty being understood, expressing their thoughts, following directions, or interacting with others.
At The Nurturing Room, we provide personalized pediatric speech therapy for families throughout Weston, Florida, with care designed around the way children actually communicate in everyday life—at home, during play, with siblings and friends, and as they prepare for or participate in school.
Therapy may support:
• Speech clarity
• Early language development
• Expressive and receptive language
• Vocabulary
• Listening and following directions
• Social communication
• Conversation skills
Every child is different, which is why therapy is individualized around your child's strengths, needs, interests, and developmental stage.
Meet Desiree Ross
Hi, I'm Desiree.
When you have questions about your child's speech or language development, finding the right therapist is about more than credentials. You want someone who will take the time to understand your child, listen to your concerns, and create a plan that makes sense for your family.
I'm Desiree Ross, a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist, and I work with infants, toddlers, and young children to build meaningful communication skills through compassionate, evidence-based care.
My approach is playful and child-centered because children learn best when they're engaged and comfortable. I use each child's interests and strengths to create opportunities for speech and language development while working toward individualized goals.
Parents are an important part of that process, too. I want families to understand what we're working on and feel confident supporting communication during the everyday moments that matter most—playing together, reading books, getting ready for school, spending time with siblings, or simply talking around the dinner table.
I'm proud to provide pediatric speech therapy for families throughout Weston and western Broward County, supporting children as they develop the communication skills they use at home, at school, with friends, and throughout their community.
My Approach to Speech Therapy

Every therapy plan is guided by current research and individualized to your child's specific strengths, needs, and goals.
-
Children learn best when therapy feels engaging, meaningful, and connected to their interests and daily experiences.
-
Parents and caregivers play an important role in communication development. My goal is to provide practical strategies that extend beyond our sessions.
