HOW WE WORK

EVALUATION

Comprehensive and dynamic speech and language evaluations are offered to identify your child's current levels of functioning, areas of strengths and challenges. Parents are provided with a written report detailing the results and recommendations following the evaluation.

SPEECH AND LANGUAGE THERAPY

Speech & language therapy sessions are available to help your child reach his or her goals and become an effective communicator. Sessions are individualized based upon your child's specific needs, interests and motivators.

PARENT COACHING

Parents and caregivers are essential partners in the therapy process. Coaching sessions help the adults in your child's life support his or her speech and language development by modifying their language and actions. Adults can learn to incorporate evidence based techniques into daily routines at home.
