in its own time.

Why Beetle & Hare?

We’ve built this clinic around two core beliefs - that every child deserves to be heard, and every family deserves to know how to help.

You are part of the therapy.

We don't just treat your child — we coach you too. Parent-mediated intervention means the strategies we teach in the clinic follow your child into every meal, every car ride, every bedtime story. Thirty minutes of therapy becomes a full day of progress.

Early and functional - always.

We focus on communication that works in real life — not just in a therapy room. Whether your child is just finding their first words or building more complex language, we meet them exactly where they are and build toward what matters most to your family.

No waitlist. No wondering.

Early intervention works best when it's actually early. We keep our schedule accessible so families aren't waiting months to be seen. Book your evaluation and know within days — not seasons — where your child stands and what comes next.

AAC done right, from day one.

Augmentative and alternative communication isn't a last resort — it's a powerful first step. We specialize in AAC evaluation, device selection, and family training so your child has a voice in every room they walk into.

Rooted in Georgetown Square. 

Serving the families who call this community home.

Find Your Path Forward

Every child’s communication journey looks different. Here’s how we can help -

Individual Therapy

Early & Functional Language

Teletherapy Available

Is your child struggling to find their first words — or ready to build toward more? Our core service combines early language intervention, AAC, and parent-mediated strategies into one cohesive, family-centered approach.

Articulation

Teletherapy Available

When speech sounds aren't quite clicking, targeted articulation therapy helps your child communicate clearly and confidently. We make it engaging, effective, and rooted in what matters to your child.

Feeding Therapy

In-Person Only

Picky eating, texture aversions, or feeding difficulties can be stressful for the whole family. We offer compassionate, evidence-based feeding therapy to help your child build a healthier relationship with food.

Group Therapy

Early Language Groups

In-Person Only

Small, nurturing groups where early communicators learn alongside peers. Play-based sessions are designed to build vocabulary, social connection, and communication confidence in a natural setting.

Social Language Groups

In-Person Only

Teens & Adults

Communication doesn't stop being important at age 12. Our social language groups support teens and adults in building the conversational and social skills that matter in real life — friendships, school, and the workplace.

From Our Founder  

I’m Samantha Jaekel, M.S., CCC-SLP, the heart and mind behind Beetle and Hare Pediatric Speech Therapy.

Always the rebel, I believe in the phrase “know better, do better” - even when “better” does not necessarily mean familiar. Traditionally, parents are relegated to a passive role in the waiting room with the focus on clinician-child interactions; however, that no longer aligns with the evidence. Today’s research supports empowering parents to be a force for positive change in their children’s lives.

That's why she opened Beetle & Hare on Georgetown Square — a place where families are partners, not passengers. Every session is built around the belief that the strategies we practice together in the clinic should take root in your child's whole life. Because the best therapy doesn't stay in the therapy room.
