Speech Therapy
ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS
Speech Evaluation & Treatment:
Evaluations last approximately 60-90 minutes depending on the areas of concern. The evaluation will provide baseline information in order to form a clear plan of treatment. Evaluations are comprehension and play-based. It will include informal observations, standardized testing, conversations with parents/caregivers, and when appropriate an oral motor examination.
You will be provided a copy of the finalized report and treatment plan before the first therapy session. Each treatment session is 30 minutes depending. Our years of training and experience allow us to treat children effectively within the allotted time. Our treatment procedures initially focus on establishing rapport with the child and building trust. With trust will come great progress and engagement for the therapy session.
The true cause of a speech and language delay is not always known, but we will provide you with all the information and experience we have to give you a clear picture of your child’s needs and a path for progress. We are highly committed to each and every family we serve. We have never met a child that wasn’t able to communicate. We just have to be open to listening and looking at things with a different lens.

Teletherapy
You may be skeptical about the success of teletherapy for your child, but I can tell you that is does work! We have the experience and training to engage your child through the computer and achieve real progress. The screen melts away, we connect, and have FUN!
Teletherapy is a great way to provide support for those who don’t have access to a speech therapist or for a variety of reasons are unable to receive services in a clinical or school setting. It is also a great option for individuals or families that juggle many priorities and would benefit from attending sessions from the comfort of their own home or office.
The following equipment is required to participate in teletherapy:
— Computer or tablet with a built-in or external web cam and microphone are preferred. Smartphones work as well but can be difficult for the child to fully see the clinician.
— high-speed internet connection
— an email account
We currently use Zoom videoconferencing software to hold sessions online. Zoom offers secure web conferencing designed for maximum performance and reliability.
