Choosing private speech and language therapy can offer several advantages for your child and family: Progress: The primary goal of private therapy is to help your child master their communication goals as quickly as possible. With one-on-one sessions, the speech-language pathologist (SLP) is able to give your child undivided attention, allowing for more intensive practice on target goals and faster progress in a shorter period of time. Parental Involvement: Private therapy allows for greater parental involvement. Parents have the option to observe or participate in therapy sessions, and the SLP can provide detailed feedback after each session. This enables parents to understand the goals and practice skills at home, ensuring better carryover of strategies. Access to Services: With county, district, and insurance constraints, children with mild and moderate delays typically do not qualify and do not receive services because they don’t meet the stringent qualifications. In private therapy, your child does not need to meet the strict criteria for services often required by state, county, or school districts. We base our decision to begin therapy on clinical observations, testing, and parent input, ensuring that your child receives the support they need. Whether your child does not qualify for services through other agencies but could benefit from individualized therapy, or if you would like to supplement existing services, private therapy offers the flexibility to meet your needs. Flexibility: Private therapy offers more flexibility in scheduling, making it easier to fit therapy into your family’s routine. We provide year-round services, so your child is not limited to the school year schedule. This is especially helpful if your child does not qualify for summer services. Privacy: Unlike school-based therapy, private therapy does not require any documentation to be placed in your child’s school records. This ensures that your child’s therapy remains confidential, and other students or school professionals will not be aware of the intervention unless you choose to share that information.

Speech-only evaluations are typically 60-75 minutes in length. Speech and language evaluations usually take 75-90 minutes. These time frames allow us to thoroughly assess your child's communication skills and provide accurate recommendations.

If your child has been evaluated within the past 6 months and you have a recent, dated evaluation report, we may be able to work off that evaluation to begin therapy. However, if your child has not been evaluated or does not have a recent evaluation, this will be necessary to ensure we accurately understand their current skills. An evaluation helps us identify the areas of need and guide us in developing an effective therapy plan.

If your child has received an evaluation through their school or another agency and you are seeking a second opinion, we can conduct a thorough and independent assessment of your child's speech and language skills. Our evaluations are designed to provide an unbiased report, which can be shared with your child’s school or other professionals involved in their care. We work closely with parents to ensure all concerns are addressed and that the evaluation provides comprehensive insights into your child’s communication needs.

Yes, parents are encouraged to attend sessions whenever possible. Your involvement allows us to provide guidance on how to implement therapy strategies at home, which can improve your child’s progress. However, if we believe your child may do better with you out of the room, we have a comfortable waiting room where you are welcome to wait. In such cases, we will provide feedback to parents/guardians during the last 5 minutes of the session to ensure effective carryover of strategies at home.

The frequency of therapy depends on several factors such as your child's age, the extent of the delay/disorder, availability, and family preferences. Typically, children attend sessions 1-2 times per week. Consistent home practice can reduce the need for frequent sessions.

Every child is different. The duration of therapy depends on factors such as the severity of the speech or language delay/disorder, the frequency of sessions, and how much practice occurs at home.
