How it Works
Getting started with speech therapy is simple. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Free Consultation
We begin with a free phone or virtual consultation to understand your needs, goals, and concerns. We'll help determine if our services are the right fit for you or your child. Check out our services for my information on what we treat!
2. Personalized Evaluation
Next, we schedule a comprehensive speech and language evaluation. This helps us identify strengths, areas for improvement, and create a customized therapy plan tailored to your specific needs.
3. Therapy Sessions Begin
You’ll start one-on-one therapy sessions with a licensed speech-language pathologist. Sessions may be in-person or online, depending on your preference and location.
4. Ongoing Support & Progress Tracking
We keep you informed every step of the way. Progress is reviewed regularly, and therapy plans are adjusted as needed to ensure steady improvement.
5. Graduation & Maintenance
Once goals are met, we provide strategies for maintaining progress and offer optional check-ins to support long-term success.
