Benefits of Home-Based Therapy

Why choose Reach 4 Speech? I travel to YOU! No more commuting, waiting in a lobby, finding parking, sitting in traffic, waking up a child that has fallen asleep in the car, or worrying about being late. This leads to LESS STRESS and MORE TIME in therapy for your child.

In a school, most caseloads are high and services are often provided in groups of children with varying needs. In a clinic, you are frequently rushed out because the next client is already in the waiting room. Home-based therapy means you get the most out of your scheduled session.

Although all of the above may sound great, the most beneficial aspect of home-based therapy is a natural environment. Home is where your child is the most comfortable in and tends to be where they spend the majority of their time. While the Speech-Language Pathologist always comes prepared with new activities, items, and games, we can also use familiar objects and toys during therapy that your child already knows and loves. It is also more functional to use materials already found in the home, meaning the child may have more opportunities to carryover the skills taught. Additionally, as a caregiver, you can implement the skills taught to you by the Speech-Language Pathologist in your home more easily with the same materials.
