Welcome to Schneider Family Services

Nourishing Minds, Growing Futures

Navigating speech or language delays, dyslexia, or the complexities of the special education system can feel overwhelming. At Schneider Family Services in Sioux Falls, I believe you shouldn't have to be the expert—you just get to be the parent. 

I provide neurodiversity-affirming speech, language, and literacy therapy designed to help your child thrive on their own terms. But my support doesn't end when the session is over. I am your dedicated advocate, walking into IEP meetings with you and simplifying school results so you can make informed decisions with confidence. 

Your child has a voice. I’m here to help the world hear it.

Meet Your Speech Therapist

Jess Schneider, SLPD, CCC-SLP

Owner, Speech-Language Pathologist

As a parent, you shouldn’t have to choose between high-quality therapy and your family’s busy schedule. I founded this practice because I saw too many families struggling to find specialized care that actually fits their lives.

I bring a doctorate-level perspective and Orton-Gillingham training to every session, but more importantly, I bring a commitment to your family. I’m here to remove the hurdles—whether that’s providing therapy that works for your schedule or standing by your side in an IEP meeting.

My mission is simple: To give your child the tools to thrive and to give you the confidence that they are exactly where they need to be.

Finding Jess, with her patience, positivity, and expertise, has been a saving grace for our family. We got our happy, confident kid back—one who now feels proud of his reading and spelling progress."

Ready to get started with speech therapy at Schneider Family Services?

Step One: Consultation

Begin with a Free Consultation:
We will discuss your concerns, answer your questions, and determine if an evaluation is the right next step for your child.

We can schedule your first appointment during this call.

Step TWO: Evaluation

A comprehensive evaluation helps us pinpoint your child’s strengths and areas where they need help.

You will receive a detailed report with all results and clear recommendations on the next steps, so you can decide if therapy services are right for your family.

Step THREE: Treatment

We work together to create a personalized treatment plan based on your child's specific strengths and challenges. We also work together to include specific goals you have for your child as the caregiver. Therapy sessions will then begin, in person or online, focusing on these specific skills, and we will create a simple home program to maximize progress between appointments.
