Building Communication & Connection Through Tabletop Role-Playing Games (like Dungeons & Dragons!)

Speech Quest is a social group led by a licensed speech-language pathologist and certified therapeutic game master. Using games like Dungeons & Dragons, neurodivergent kids and teens build communication and social skills while embarking on epic adventures.

Why Speech Quest Works

Through tabletop role-play, kids will:

  • Practice skills like narrative language, problem solving, perspective-taking, and emotional regulation.

  • Build real friendships through shared stories and teamwork.

  • Strengthen communication in a fun, motivating environment.

How It Works

  • Individualized focus: Kids are matched to peers that share their interests. These passions are also incorporated into the game. Groups are kept small (up to 4 players).

  • Accessible play: Sessions are designed with visuals, objects, maps, breaks, and flexible supports. This is a fidget-friendly space!

  • Parent connection: Families receive updates, a story recap, and strategies to continue skill-building at home.

Who Can Join?

Speech Quest is for neurodivergent kids, teens, and young adults who:

  • Have communication-related challenges.

  • Benefit from structured, supportive opportunities to practice speech, language, or social skills.

  • Need a new, authentic way to connect with peers.
