What I offer
EVALUATIONS
Evaluations typically include a combination of standardized testing, informal observations, and parent interview. When appropriate, reviews of other evaluation reports and interviews with teachers and other professionals can help provide a more thorough assessment. Once completed, a report is generated which includes a description of the child’s skills and areas of need, recommended goals, a treatment plan, and referrals if needed.
TREATMENT
A treatment plan typically includes 1-3 sessions per week of direct one-on-one treatment. Services may also include consultations with teachers and other professionals, as well as periodic co-treatment sessions with other therapists. Parent education is an integral part of the process and may be done through direct involvement during therapy sessions, observation, conversations following sessions, and/or written notes. Progress reports are provided periodically to monitor and record progress.

Ages Served
Young Children
Therapy for toddlers and young children looks a lot like play. Speech and language skills are taught in a natural and meaningful way, mostly using common toys. The environment may also be manipulated to give the child more of a “reason” to communicate.
Learn MoreOlder Children
For older children, therapy is usually more formal and structured, to target more specific aspects of speech and language. However, this is still done in a fun and motivating context.
