All speech-language therapy services are provided in the child's home or community location. Services provided incorporate evidence-based practice, clinical expertise, and input from the family/caregivers to provide the best speech-language therapy possible for each individual child.
|
EvaluationSpeech-language evaluations include parent/caregiver interview to gather background information and current concerns, observation, informal assessment, and/or formal standardized assessment. The evaluation allows me to identify your child's strengths and weaknesses in speech and language. An evaluation report will be written containing a summary of the evaluation along with recommendations. If speech therapy is necessary based on the evaluation, a treatment plan will also be created. This will include specific goals to address your child's areas of difficulty.
|
Therapy SessionsTherapy sessions are one on one. The frequency (sessions per week) and duration (length of treatment) will be determined based on the evaluation and specific needs of your child. Sessions are typically 45 minutes long. Sessions include structured activities and/or play based learning to address the goals outlined in the treatment plan. Parent/caregiver involvement is expected, as you are a crucial part of your child's speech and language development.
|
AAC ServicesI provide Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) evaluations to determine the most appropriate method(s) of communication for children with limited verbal speech. AAC can include, but is not limited to, gestures, sign, pictures, communication boards, and speech-generating devices. Based on your child's individual needs, a plan for acquiring and using an AAC system will be created.
