About the Owner of Whimsical Words Speech Therapy

Hi there! I’m Delainey Smyth, a speech-language pathologist by training and homebody by nature. I live for quiet mornings, deep conversations, and the joy of watching children grow through communication skills. I reside in a cozy corner of rural Indiana with my husband and two favorite little humans. Our days are filled with snacks, loud voices, sports, and the occasional marker-covered picture book. When I’m not helping children with their communication skills and supporting their child development, you’ll likely find me reading a good book, listening to a delightfully nerdy podcast, or snuggling my babies at home.

I believe in the magical power of childhood. In the wonder, exploration, messy play, make believe, and the quiet moments that shape who we become, we see the foundation of child development. Communication skills are about so much more than just speech sounds or vocabulary; they’re about connection. At Whimsical Words Speech Therapy, sessions are not rushed or rigid. They are playful, thoughtful, and designed with your child’s unique spark in mind. Because when we partner with families and honor the whole child’s mind, heart, and voice we understand that beautiful things can happen.
