Our Speech Therapy Services

Each session is tailored to your child's specific needs and goals. Sessions typically include fun, play-based activities that target speech sounds, language development, or communication skills. We use games, toys, books, and interactive activities to keep children engaged while working on their goals. Parents often observe or participate to learn strategies they can use at home.

Session frequency depends on your child's individual needs. Most children benefit from 1-2 sessions per week, with each session lasting 30-60 minutes. During the evaluation, we'll recommend an appropriate frequency based on your child's goals and your family's schedule. Consistency is key to progress.

Speech therapy focuses on how children produce sounds and words (articulation, fluency, voice). Language therapy addresses understanding and using words to communicate (vocabulary, grammar, following directions, answering questions). Many children need support in both areas, and our comprehensive approach addresses all aspects of communication.

Absolutely! Parent involvement is encouraged and often essential for success. For younger children, having a parent present can provide comfort and security. We also teach parents strategies and activities to practice at home, which significantly improves outcomes. The level of involvement can be adjusted based on your child's needs and comfort level.

The duration of therapy varies based on your child's individual needs, the nature of their communication challenges, and how consistently they attend sessions. Some children make rapid progress and need only a few months of therapy, while others with more complex needs may benefit from longer-term support. We regularly assess progress and adjust goals accordingly.

Yes! We offer both in-person and teletherapy options. Virtual sessions can be just as effective as in-person therapy for many children, especially those ages 3 and up. Our teletherapy platform is secure, user-friendly, and includes interactive activities to keep children engaged. We'll help determine if virtual therapy is a good fit for your child.

The initial evaluation is a comprehensive assessment that typically lasts 60-90 minutes. We'll assess your child's speech sounds, language skills, and overall communication abilities through play-based activities and standardized assessments. You'll receive a detailed report with findings and personalized recommendations within a week.

We believe learning happens best through play! Our sessions incorporate your child's interests, whether that's dinosaurs, princesses, or trucks. We use games, crafts, movement activities, and technology to keep sessions engaging. Children often don't realize they're "working" because they're having so much fun!

We provide simple home practice activities that take just 5-10 minutes daily. These aren't traditional "homework" but fun activities you can do during everyday routines like mealtime, bath time, or car rides. Consistent practice between sessions accelerates progress significantly.

We use data-driven methods to track your child's progress. Each session includes documentation of performance on specific goals. We provide regular progress reports and adjust therapy plans as needed. You'll always know exactly how your child is progressing and what we're working on next.
