Services Offered
Speech and/or Language Evaluations
The evaluation process begins with a consultation to discuss your child's communication needs, address concerns, and determine appropriate next steps.
A comprehensive evaluation is then scheduled to assess your child's speech and/or language skills. Evaluations may include standardized assessments, informal observations, speech and language samples, and parent input to gain a thorough understanding of your child's communication strengths and challenges.
Following the evaluation, families receive a detailed written report outlining assessment results, recommendations, and individualized therapy goals when appropriate.
Speech and Language Therapy
Therapy begins following a completed evaluation and the development of individualized short- and long-term goals.
Each therapy session is tailored to the child's specific communication needs and treatment goals. Sessions incorporate engaging, developmentally appropriate activities designed to strengthen communication skills, support progress, and build confidence.
