Initial Evaluation (60 minutes)
A licensed SLP or OT will conduct a comprehensive evaluation. For more information about specific areas that may be evaluated, see our provided services below for further description. A standardized assessment will be administered to evaluate areas of concern. If the child is not appropriate for standardized testing due to decreased attention, emotional dysregulation, age, etc., more informal measures will be obtained through observation. Findings will be discussed with the family and a copy of the evaluation report can be provided upon request.
Treatment Sessions (speech - 30 minutes; OT - 60 minutes)
Sessions typically begin with a discussion of the child’s progress from the previous week. We encourage parents to be active and involved in sessions so that they can learn strategies to better support their child. Sessions may involve more direct 1:1 intervention between the clinician and the child, while other times they may take the form of a coaching experience with the parents. Families may be provided with “homework” or a “goal for the week” to help implement new skills into the child’s daily life. Our ultimate goal is for both the client and their family to feel supported and comfortable when working together. Sessions may occur 1-2x/week depending on client needs.
What to Expect
Speech Therapy Services
AAC (Augmentative & Alternative Communication)
We help children who are non-speaking or minimally-speaking find their voice through AAC indcluding high-tech communication devices, picture boards, and sign language. Many individuals on the autism spectrum or who are diagnosed with a developmental disability may benefit from AAC. Upon initiation of services, we can conduct a formal AAC evaluation, begin a device trial, and submit documentation for insurance approval.
Early Language Development (Ages 1–5)
We support toddlers and preschoolers with first words, combining words, and understanding language. Early intervention builds a strong foundation for future learning and communication success.
School-aged Language Disorders
We help school-aged children who struggle with receptive and expressive language. Receptive language abilities allow children to understand spoken language. This can include following directions, listenting/reading comprehension, and understanding the meaning of words. Expressive language is the way a child communicates their thoughts, feelings, and ideas to their peers. Expressive language skills may include: story telling, use of appropriate grammatical structure, and describing actions or events. Our therapy supports success in the classroom and beyond.
Speech Sound Disorders - Phonology & Articulation
If your child’s speech is hard to understand, we can address the phonological patterns and sound systems that may be affecting their speech intelligibility, or ability to be understood by others. Speech sound disorders can also be characterized by distortions of speech sounds including l, r, or s.
Childhood Apraxia of Speech
If your child knows what they want to say but struggles to get the words out clearly, it might be apraxia. Apraxia is a speech disorder that affects the brain’s ability to plan and sequence complex motor movements needed for speech. We offer support to help your child build the motor planning skills needed for confident, clear speech.
Social Communication Disorders/Pragmatics
We help children who struggle with things like taking turns in conversation, reading social cues, or building friendships. Therapy focuses on real-life social skills to improve peer and classroom interactions.
Literacy & Reading Readiness
We support early literacy skills including phonological awareness, sound-letter matching, and comprehension — essential for kindergarten readiness and early reading success. If your child has or had a speech sound disorder, they are more likely to have difficulty reading. Let us help!
Fluency Disorders (Stuttering)
Is your child repeating sounds or getting stuck on words? Our therapy focuses on fluency-building strategies and confidence so your child can speak freely and comfortably in any setting.
Feeding Disorders
Mealtimes shouldn't be stressful. We help children who have difficulty chewing, swallowing, or managing different textures through feeding therapy that is gentle, responsive, and family-centered.
Occupational Therapy Services
Fine Motor Skills
We help children develop the hand strength, coordination, and dexterity needed for everyday activities. Therapy may address skills such as grasping, manipulating small objects, using scissors, coloring, and completing age-appropriate fine motor tasks.
Handwriting & Written Skills
We support children who have difficulty with handwriting, including letter formation, spacing, sizing, alignment, pencil grasp, and writing endurance. Therapy helps children develop the skills they need to participate more comfortably and successfully in classroom activities.
Visual Motor & Visual Perceptual Skills
We help children coordinate what they see with how they move. Therapy may target copying shapes and letters, completing puzzles, navigating mazes, finding items in a busy environment, recognizing patterns, and organizing information visually.
Gross Motor & Coordination
Occupational therapy can support the coordination and body control children need to participate in play, school, and daily activities. Goals may include balance, bilateral coordination, motor planning, body awareness, and coordinating movements during age-appropriate activities.
Sensory Processing
We help children who have difficulty processing and responding to sensory information. Therapy may address sensitivities or challenges related to touch, movement, sounds, visual input, body awareness, or other sensory experiences. Our goal is to help children participate more comfortably and successfully in everyday routines.
Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)
We help children develop greater independence with everyday self-care skills. This may include dressing, toileting, bathing, grooming, using utensils, managing fasteners, and other age-appropriate daily routines.
Feeding & Mealtime Skills
We support children who experience challenges with mealtime and feeding. Therapy may address utensil use, sitting and participating during meals, food exploration, oral-motor skills, and tolerance of different foods or textures. Services are individualized to each child's needs and may be provided in collaboration with other professionals when appropriate.
Executive Functioning
We help children develop the skills needed to plan, organize, start, and complete tasks. Therapy may target attention, organization, time management, working memory, problem-solving, impulse control, and flexible thinking to support success at home and school.
Motor Planning & Praxis
Some children know what they want to do but have difficulty figuring out how to make their body complete the task. Occupational therapy can help develop motor planning, sequencing, coordination, and the ability to learn and carry out new movements.
While we specialize in treating pediatrics, we welcome adult clients who may also be seeking speech or occupational therapy.
