From a toddler's first words to an adult reclaiming clarity after a stroke — we provide expert, individualized speech therapy for every age and every chapter of life.
Every person's journey is unique. From toddlers to teens to adults, we offer specialized therapies to help you reach your fullest potential.
Speech Therapy
For children, teens, and adults. Help with articulation, language delays, apraxia, stuttering, voice disorders, and cognitive-communication challenges. Evidence-based techniques for clear, confident communication at every age.
Feeding Therapy
Using the SOS (Sequential Oral Sensory) approach, we gently guide children and teens through exploring and enjoying new foods. Ideal for picky eaters, those with sensory sensitivities, infant feeding challenges, and swallowing difficulties at any age.
Myofunctional Therapy
Our COM-certified specialists address tongue thrust, mouth breathing, thumb sucking, and orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMD) in children, teens, and adults. We are currently the only private practice in Kansas City with this specialized certification.
Reading & Literacy
Our Orton-Gillingham based reading intervention provides structured, multisensory instruction for children and teens struggling with reading, dyslexia, and decoding. We unlock the world of words so every person can experience the joy of reading.
Voice disorders, vocal fatigue, professional voice optimization, post-stroke recovery, and accent modification. It's never too late.
Comprehensive evaluations and targeted screenings to identify challenges and create an individualized plan. Reports delivered within 5 business days.
Compassionate Care, Proven Results
Families, teens, and adults across Kansas City trust us because we combine deep expertise with genuine compassion for every person we serve.
Mary Billings, our founder, teaches speech-language pathologists across the country. When you come to BSPS, you are receiving care from the same expert who trains other therapists in best practices.
We are currently the only private practice in the Kansas City metro area with therapists holding the prestigious Certification in Orofacial Myology (COM). If your child has a tongue thrust, mouth breathing habit, or other orofacial myofunctional disorder, you have found the right team.
Every client — child, teen, or adult — receives one-on-one attention from a dedicated therapist. We design individualized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs, strengths, and goals. No cookie-cutter approaches here.
Speech therapy, feeding therapy, reading intervention, and myofunctional therapy together in one practice. Many families find they need more than one service, and we make it seamless to access comprehensive care without referrals to outside clinics.
Real stories from Kansas City families and adults who found their voice, discovered new possibilities, and built confidence with our team.
"Our son refused to eat anything beyond three foods. After six months of feeding therapy with BSPS, he is now trying new foods every week. Last night he ate broccoli! I never thought I would be so happy to see a child eat a vegetable. The SOS approach Mary's team uses is gentle and truly works."
"When our daughter started at BSPS, she could barely string two words together. Now she tells us stories about her day, sings songs, and chats with her friends at school. Her teacher says you would never know she ever had a speech delay. The transformation has been incredible, and the team made every session fun for her."
"As a high school teacher, my voice is my livelihood. After years of vocal strain, I was losing my voice by noon every day. The team at BSPS gave me techniques I use daily, and I haven't lost my voice since. I wish I had come years ago. You don't have to be a child to need speech therapy — and the care here is truly world-class."
Mary Billings, MS, CCC-SLP, COM, founded Billings Speech Pathology Services with a simple belief: everyone — from toddlers to adults — deserves expert care delivered with warmth, patience, and joy.
Mary's philosophy is rooted in the belief that therapy should be both evidence-based and enjoyable. She and her team create a nurturing environment where clients of all ages feel safe to explore, make progress, and grow. When therapists across the nation want to learn the latest techniques in feeding therapy and myofunctional treatment, they come to Mary.
"I started this practice because I saw a need in our community for truly specialized care. Every person who walks through our doors has a story — whether they're three or thirty-three — and our job is to help them write the next beautiful chapter."
Through Function Focus Academy, Mary trains speech-language pathologists, dental professionals, and healthcare providers in orofacial myofunctional therapy and feeding treatment.
