Services may focus on:
Therapy is individualized based on each child’s unique needs and goals.
A speech-language evaluation may include standardized testing, authentic assessment measures, clinical observation, and caregiver input based on your child’s individual abilities and needs. You will receive a detailed written report outlining your child’s strengths, areas of need, and clear recommendations for next steps, whether that includes therapy, monitoring, or other support.
Virtual evaluations are conducted through a secure, HIPAA compliant video platform and are tailored to your child’s individual abilities and needs. Evaluations may include standardized assessments, authentic assessment measures, clinical observation, conversation, and interactive activities to provide a well rounded picture of your child’s communication skills.
Parent coaching is a collaborative session focused on equipping caregivers with practical strategies to support their child's communication at home. Rather than direct therapy with the child, these sessions provide guidance, education, and actionable tools tailored to your family's goals. Parent coaching can be used on its own or alongside therapy services to strengthen progress and carryover.
Parent involvement varies based on the child's age and needs. Some children work independently, while others benefit from occasional parent support. Parent collaboration and communication are always part of the therapy process.

Sessions are conducted through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. Setup instructions are provided before your first session.
Session length and frequency are determined individually based on clinical recommendations and the child's needs. These details are discussed during the intake process.

Payments for services can be made by logging into the Client Portal. The portal provides a secure and convenient way to manage payments for all services rendered.
Zelle is also an acceptable form of payment for evaluation, therapy, and coaching sessions. This can be discussed at the initial consultation.
