DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATIONS
Every child is unique, and so are their communication needs. Our pediatric speech and language evaluations are tailored to your child’s development and your family’s concerns. The evaluation may include standardized speech-language testing, informal observation, conversations with you, and a review of your child’s history. This comprehensive approach helps us understand your child’s strengths and identify areas where additional support may be helpful, including speech, language, cognitive skills, and oral-motor development. After the evaluation is complete, you’ll receive a verbal and/or written report with individualized therapy recommendations.
Already have a recent evaluation? Great! We will review it to determine whether we can begin supporting your child without repeating testing unnecessarily.
SPEECH & LANGUAGE THERAPY
Our pediatric speech and language therapy services are personalized to your child, with goals designed to support their communication development. For younger children, sessions are play-based and developmentally appropriate because learning happens best when it’s fun and meaningful! We focus on building speech and language skills in ways that fit naturally into your child’s world. You’re an important part of the process, too! We will keep you involved and provide practical strategies you can use at home to support your child’s progress between in-home sessions. Whether your child is not yet talking or is developing more advanced communication skills, we are here to help them grow and thrive.
