What to Expect If You Decide to Use My Services:


Screening


We can discuss your concerns and determine if a complete speech and language evaluation should be made.

Evaluation*


blah


Therapy **


With the findings in hand, individualized Speech-Language Therapy can be provided at parents’ request.


Release


Goals are set before Therapy Sessions begin, once we feel we have achieved those goals, I advice the discontinuation of the services.  At any time, on your own, you may decide to stop therapy.  blah blah blah.


Guidance


Most parents need guidance to face the challenge of matching their child needs with what is available through public and private institutions.  Sadly, the educational system is difficult to navigate, the options aren’t clearly mapped and help isn’t provided openly. 

I provide as much help as needed in this area as part of my services.
