We will interview parents and ask you to complete an intake form to gather details about your child. An evaluation is a 60-90 minute session where we will administer a formal language and/or articulation assessment, gather informal data as we observe your child’s behavior through play, and interview the parent.
No! We can use your evaluation if the information is current.
It looks like language-rich play! Speech sound production is also targeted through the play-based therapy. The SLP will provide speech and language interventions while letting your child lead the way during play. We believe in natural, child-led, play-based therapy. We try to make each session fun and engaging for your child so that they look forward to therapy.
Therapy is provided for a 6 month period. At the end of 6 months, we will re-evaluate to see if your child requires another 6 months of therapy or if they are ready to be dismissed. Children can be dismissed if they master all therapy goals prior to 6 months

Therapy duration is shorter when parents are more involved so that skills learned in therapy are carried over into the home. Please refer to our “Services” to find our recommendation on parent involvement based on your child’s age and needs.
We are a private pay agency, meaning all services must be reimbursed at the time services are rendered. We are not accepting insurance at this time. However, services may be reimbursed by your insurance company under “out of network” speech therapy benefits. We will provide you with a superbill, which is an itemized list of services provided for your insurance company if you are seeking reimbursement.
