Evaluations & Therapy
EVALUATIONS For

SPEECH, LANGUAGE, and Social Skills

Comprehensive evaluations are designed to develop an understanding of a child's skills and challenges. During the evaluation, we will also identify the underlying cause of a child's challenges. Our evaluations consist of standardized testing measures, parent/caregiver interviews, observations, and client-therapist interactions. Following the evaluation, we will discuss the results and recommendations. If therapy is recommended, we will collaborate with parents to develop a plan of treatment and appropriate goals. Parents will also receive a written report describing performance on assessments, observations, and our recommendations. Contact us to get started today.

Parents and Caregivers

Parent coaching is an evidence-based approach to delivering speech, language, and social skills therapy for children. By empowering parents and caregivers with the knowledge and tools to support development at home, children are given the opportunity to learn and practice skills within their daily routines. Parent coaching can be combined with direct therapy and is also an excellent option for children of any age for whom direct therapy is not the best option. Coaching sessions offer parents a chance to ask questions, learn specific strategies, and receive guidance during interactions with their child. Parent coaching can take place in-person or online over video chat. Contact us to learn more about parent coaching.
