Specializing in Speech, Language, Gestalt Language Processing, & Feeding Therapy
Serving children and families in the Woburn, MA area
Welcome to BG Speech Therapy!
We're so glad you're here! BG Speech Therapy is a neurodiversity-affirming pediatric speech therapy practice serving children of all ages and abilities in the Woburn, MA area.
We accept and celebrate all children for who they are. We believe in the importance of developing and maintaining positive relationships between your speech therapist, your child, and your family. These relationships are important and valuable parts of a successful speech therapy journey!
Our mission is to provide speech therapy for your child that incorporates their unique strengths and interests to help them thrive in daily life. We’ll work toward goals that make a difference to your child and your family — all while having fun!
We're here to help your child communicate and eat with success!
We use relationship-based, neurodiversity-affirming therapy approaches to make your child feel comfortable, accepted, and valued for who they are. You'll see us following your child's lead, engaging in their special interests together, and learning new skills through play!
Speech Sound Disorders
We will help your child speak clearly so that others understand them! We'll practice speech sounds using evidence-based methods and fun, play-based activities.
Feeding Therapy
Feeding therapy will help your child overcome picky eating, oral motor delays, and sensory aversions to make mealtimes more enjoyable for the whole family.
Autism & Gestalt Language Processing
Many autistic children are Gestalt Language Processors. We’ll honor your child’s sensory needs, join them in their favorite activities, and model language to help them become more independent communicators.
Language Disorders & Late Talkers
Let’s help your child communicate with intention, authenticity, and confidence using proven strategies to guide them to be the best, most authentic communicator they can be— and teach you how to use the same strategies at home!
Meet Your Speech & Feeding Therapist
Bianca Gizzi Fusco, MEd, MS, CCC-SLP
Owner, Speech-Language Pathologist
Hi, I’m Bianca! I’ve been a speech therapist for over seven years and have worked with children of all ages in public schools and private practice settings. I hold master’s degrees in Communication Sciences and Disorders as well as in Reading and Literacy.
I started BG Speech Therapy to provide fun and engaging speech therapy services to children and their families in a warm and welcoming way. My focus is on your child, as well as your whole family, because I believe that these relationships are an important part of successful therapy. I want to make it easy for your child to authentically interact with the world around them— and, most importantly, with your family.
Parents and caregivers are encouraged to participate in their child’s speech therapy in whatever way works best for them, from being directly in the therapy room during sessions, to observing, to relaxing in the waiting room and catching up after the session. My sessions are child-led, strengths-based, and inclusive of your child’s interests— meaning that I will join your child in activities that interest them, and support their communication there. I believe that speech therapy should be a time for learning, growth, fun, and connection!
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, my son, and my family. I love to be creative, cook, go for walks, and visit my favorite places— like the North End or the beaches in Gloucester!

Testimonials
According to the laws of aerodynamics, the bumblebee cannot fly because its body is too heavy for its wings. But the bumblebee doesn’t know this fact, and so it flies anyway for all to see. Remember this when losing faith or hope; let it be a reminder that what seems difficult or impossible, can be done… even in speech therapy!
