Why Families Trust Us
Madison holds ASHA's Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) — the gold standard of professional credentialing in speech-language pathology.
In-home therapy removes the anxiety of clinical settings — letting children engage more freely, progress faster, and practice in the exact context they'll use their skills.
Every technique and approach is grounded in current research and clinical best practices — effective, proven care tailored to each child's unique profile.
Madison grew up in Fairfield County and is deeply invested in the families she serves — not just as a clinician, but as a neighbor and member of your community.
We involve and coach parents at every stage — you'll always understand your child's progress and feel confident supporting them between sessions.
Every plan celebrates what your child already does well and builds from there — fostering confidence and motivation alongside communication skills.
Our Services
We specialize in a comprehensive range of pediatric speech and language services — all delivered in your home, tailored to your child's unique strengths and needs.
We help children produce speech sounds — R, S, L, TH, and more — clearly and confidently, so they can be fully understood at school, with friends, and in everyday life.
Building expressive and receptive language skills so children can follow directions, voice their thoughts, and develop the vocabulary that fuels academic success.
Teaching the unspoken rules of conversation and peer interaction so children can connect with confidence — from playdates to classrooms.
Practical, tailored strategies equip you to support your child's communication growth every day — turning everyday routines into powerful practice opportunities.
For toddlers showing early signs of speech or language delay — timely support lays the foundation for confident communication and school readiness.
Evidence-based treatment for childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), building reliable, consistent control over the motor patterns behind speech production.
Compassionate, evidence-informed support for children who stutter — building fluency skills and the confidence to communicate freely in any situation.

About Madison
Speech By Madison was built on a belief that children thrive when they feel safe, comfortable, and truly understood. That's why we bring therapy into your home — your child's natural world — rather than asking families to navigate clinic waiting rooms.
Madison Poppy, MA, CCC-SLP, launched her private practice to give Fairfield County families something different: high-quality, flexible, relationship-first speech therapy that actually fits real life. Originally from Weston, Connecticut, Madison brings both professional expertise and genuine community roots to every family she serves.
The families we work with across Darien, Greenwich, Westport, Stamford, New Canaan, Norwalk, Wilton, and beyond aren't just clients — they're partners in their child's story. When a child who once struggled to be understood suddenly speaks with clarity and confidence, that's not just clinical progress. That's the whole point.
