Evaluations
We provide comprehensive written evaluations that will assess your child's speech and language skills. We will identify strengths and weaknesses that will help guide recommendations, goals and allow us to develop a treatment plan. Please contact us for a free consult. We can go discuss if a complete evaluation is necessary, or if we can use testing that has been conducted at your child's school.
Therapy
Treatment sessions will address difficulties including speech and language delay, articulation errors, language processing, language comprehension, pre-literacy and phonemic awareness skills, language and reading comprehension, writing, narrative language, social skills and pragmatic language difficulties. We offer 30, 45 and 60 minute sessions.
