Services
Assessment
Speech and Language Evaluation
-
Used to determine your child's strengths and areas of communicative need.
-
May include a parent interview, obtaining medical history, standardized testing, and observations of your child in the natural setting.
-
Testing may take 30-120 minutes depending on areas of concern.
-
Once the assessment is completed, you will receive an evaluation report that identifies areas of need and targeted goals for your child.
Treatment
Speech and Language Therapy
This is where the "magic" happens! I wish I could wave a magic wand and say "your child's communication is cured!" but that's just not reality! With hard work, practice, and use of strategies, we will see results. My expectations for clients is to always work hard and we will have fun!
Treatment will be provided in the clinic or virtually. In some unique cases (typically my clients with selective mutism), treatment may be provided at your child's school or in the community.
Parents are welcome to be as involved as you would like in therapy. I welcome you to see how I conduct therapy with your child. If you can learn from what I do and practice with your child even after your child leaves, that will often lead to faster outcomes.
