What can I expect at the Evaluation?

The duration of an evaluation can range from approximately 30-minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on the areas being assessed. A speech and language evaluation allows the Speech Language Pathologist to evaluate speech and language skills through standardized tests, observations, parent report, and history. Following the evaluation, you will receive a brief verbal summary of the findings. If speech and language therapy is recommended, the written evaluation report will be reviewed at your child’s first scheduled session. If assessment results indicate that your child presents with age-appropriate communication skills, there will be no additional appointments and you will receive a copy of the written report via electronic mail.

How frequent and how long are therapy sessions?

The frequency and duration of therapy sessions is dependent on the individual needs of each client. The frequency of your child’s therapy sessions will be determined after the initial evaluation. We typically recommend 30 to 60 minute sessions. Depending on the type and severity of the speech-language disorder, therapy is recommended 1 to 2 times per week.

What is teletherapy?

Speech Teletherapy is the delivery of Speech-Language Pathology services using telecommunication technology. Telepractice services allow for consultation, assessment, and/or speech and language services from the comfort of your home. The Speech Language Pathologist and your child will utilize a HIPPA compliant, secure video conferencing as the platform for service delivery. The Speech Language Pathologist will work directly with the child, parents/caregivers, or a combined approach depending on client need.
