Fundamental Communications

Fundamental Communications is a speech pathologist practice in Greenville, SC, providing speech and occupational therapy for the pediatric population. The practice serves children from birth to 18 years old and offers free developmental screenings for families with concerns about a child's development. Services are delivered in schools, child care centers, homes, and at a centrally located clinic, with therapists working around each child's schedule in the setting where the child is most comfortable.

The practice was founded by two therapists who wanted to provide therapy in the most natural setting. Its founders, Maggie and Miriam, have over twenty years of speech therapy experience across schools, head start programs, preschools, day care centers, hospitals, and clinics. Fundamental Communications has partnered with preschools and day care centers to provide free developmental screenings, supplying forms for teachers and parents and sending a qualified therapist to each facility to determine which children qualify for further evaluation. The practice works with BabyNet and Child Find to provide comprehensive evaluations at its clinic.

All therapists are licensed and certified BabyNet providers with experience in sensory integration, Autism approaches, Apraxia, feeding, and a variety of disorders and delays. Several therapists have received advanced training in the PROMPT method, which uses touch cues to a patient's jaw, tongue, and lips to guide them through a targeted word, phrase, or sentence. Therapists incorporate a multi-sensory approach and empower families to reinforce therapeutic activities at home. The practice also partners with a literacy specialist, a certified elementary teacher with a Master of Arts in literacy and over 15 years in education, who works one-on-one with children and designs programs tailored to their needs.

The clinic sits on Prado Way, about 0.2 miles from Woodruff Road and Prisma Health Urgent Care, and roughly 0.4 miles from Greenville Classical Academy and the Golden Strip Freeway. Gilder Creek is about half a mile away.

Fundamental Communications accepts private pay, Health Savings Accounts, SC Medicaid, and Tricare, and has an in-house billing specialist to answer payment questions. For Greenville families seeking pediatric speech and occupational therapy, the practice brings licensed, BabyNet-certified therapists directly into schools, day cares, and homes across the area.
