In response to a demand, Roshan Boese recently opened Innerbloom Therapy in Woodland Park.  With increasing requests for pediatric speech therapy Boese expanded her practice from home to an office.

Boese attributes the recent demand to the heightened awareness of parents whose children show delayed development.

“I treat kids with all kinds of disabilities, autism, Down Syndrome, developmental delays,” she said.

Boese’s clients range in age from birth to 18.

“I see kids who are late talking, or all of a sudden, stop talking,” she said. “That’s why I believe in early intervention. Early is better than later.”

 By age 2, a child’s normal range of words is 50 and the ability to put a few words together.  

“At times, parents have a hard time understanding what the child is saying, so we can work on articulation,” Boese said.  “I work with a lot of pre-school and elementary school students.”

For children who attend Woodland Park School District schools, Boese works in conjunction with district therapists.

“That another thing I love about Woodland Park, that there are great resources here,” she said.

Boese’s practice opens the world of opportunities to help children thrive. Among her services is one that includes feeding therapy.

“A child might be a picky eater, doesn’t want to eat fruits and vegetables,” she said.  “We can look at the sensory piece of it as well as the oral muscle motor part.”

Boese’s services are child-led and play-based with family involvement, she said.

“I have development relationships with my families, because Woodland Park is a tight-knit community,” she said.
