Services Offered
Initial Consultation
I offer a free fifteen-minute phone call or video chat to help determine if I would be a suitable fit for your child and family. During this conversation, we can discuss your specific goals and priorities for speech therapy. This allows us to evaluate if there is a good match between your needs and the services I can provide. It's an opportunity for us to connect and ensure that we can work together effectively to support your child's development.
Speech and Language Evaluation
I will conduct a formal assessment to identify the priority areas to address in speech therapy, and the extent of testing will be tailored to the specific concerns we've identified together. The assessment will be conducted at your child's pace, and I have alternative approaches in case your child finds formal face-to-face assessments challenging. Once the assessment is finished, I'll provide you with an assessment report and treatment plan. We will go over this together and explore potential options for proceeding with speech therapy if that's the route you choose to take.
