Our Team
Tara Boyd, M.A., CCC-SLP | Founder & Director
​
"We aren't just building isolated skills; we are building a clinical bridge that empowers every child to navigate their future with independence and confidence."
​
I founded Copper Sky Center for Children to provide a space where therapy is defined by more than just clinical goals—it’s defined by joy, understanding, and a true sense of belonging. With over 25 years of experience as a Speech-Language Pathologist, I have dedicated my career to seeing the "whole child" and empowering families with the tools they need for a brighter future.
​
At the Center, we provide a unique, high-level therapeutic experience. Our clinical approach is built upon proprietary developmental frameworks designed to foster independence and communication. I believe that every child deserves access to an intellectually rich environment that prepares them for success in their home and community.
​
My mission is to ensure that every family who walks through our doors feels supported and every child is celebrated for their unique strengths. Together, we work to uncover your child's potential, building the essential life skills they need to navigate their world with confidence.
