Assessment & Screenings

Informal and formal assessment is the best way to determine if your child will benefit from therapy. Depending upon the age of your child, our first session will combine toy and gameplay and other measures designed to get to know your child better and elicit a variety of speech and language. After the initial session, we will discuss my findings and recommendations and your family’s goals to make a plan together. This can include the recommendation for more testing or therapy with specific treatment goals.

Therapy Sessions

Office-based therapy sessions are 50 minutes long and are typically one to two times per week. Sessions are designed to build skills in motivating ways by engaging your child’s interests through toys, games, and books.

Working with Parents

After each therapy session, we’ll briefly discuss assigned homework and progress. We’ll schedule phone calls or in-person/zoom meetings for more extended discussions or treatment planning. I will also communicate with your child’s school and teachers as needed to ensure coordination and carry-over of skills into different environments.
