EVALUATION

Speech evaluations begin by understanding and looking further into your concerns. A speech evaluation can help determine the areas your child needs assistance with, and is the first step to developing a "plan of care."  An evaluation is almost always necessary if you are submitting for insurance reimbursement. 
Some of the areas our team evaluates include:

• Speech production
• Understanding/using language
• Feeding
• Social skills
• Play skills

A summary of the evaluation results and recommendations will be provided to you. Parent questions and concerns will be addressed during this process.

Therapy is often family-oriented, as children typically make the most progress when skills targeted in therapy are reinforced at home and in the community. 
​Sessions can include:

• Regulation, engagement, relatedness (readiness to communicate).
• Receptive Language & Language Processing
• Expressive Language
• Speech production or phonology
• Oral motor & sensory skills
• Pragmatic (Social) Language
• Play skills
• Feeding
• Strategies for improved memory

The frequency and duration of therapy sessions is determined on an individual.
