Speech Therapy
Evaluation and treatment for speech, language, and communication, for children through adults. Our job is to make you easier to understand and to help you get your point across, in whatever way works for you.
Communication is getting a message across and having it understood. That's the measure we use. If speaking out loud works, we build on it. If typing, signing, or a communication device works better on a hard day, that counts too.
We don't set goals around sounding typical, sitting still, or making eye contact. We set goals around being understood, being able to ask for what you need, and being able to say no.
Speech therapy here is open to anyone, whether or not you were evaluated with us.
Kids do better when therapy looks like something they'd choose to do. We build sessions around what a child already loves.
A communication device never replaces speech. Children who use one usually talk more, not less.
Confirm whether the clinic will offer feeding and swallowing services, and drop this card if not.
A speech and language evaluation sorts out what's actually going on. It usually includes a conversation about your history and concerns, structured testing, watching how you communicate in a natural setting, and a report with clear recommendations.
You'll sit down with your speech-language pathologist afterward and go through the results in plain language, including what we'd suggest and why.
Call or send a message. We'll ask what you're noticing and whether anyone has evaluated it before.
One or two visits, depending on what we're looking at. Testing is broken into chunks with breaks.
We walk through what we found, set goals in plain language, and agree on how often to meet.
Regular sessions, usually 30 to 45 minutes, with progress checks and practice you can do at home.

Meet the whole teamSpeech therapy rarely stands alone. If you're also seeing one of our therapists or going through an evaluation here, everyone works from the same plan in the same building. What your speech-language pathologist learns in session goes to the rest of your team, and the other way around.
Yes. School services are tied to what affects schoolwork, which is narrower than what you may want to work on. Many families do both, and we're glad to coordinate with the school team.
No. Research consistently finds the opposite. Children given another way to communicate usually speak more, because the pressure comes off.
[Confirm: whether a physician referral is needed, and whether insurance requires one.]
[Confirm telehealth availability for speech services.]
It depends on what we're working on. We set a check-in point at the start, usually three months, so you get a straight answer about progress instead of open-ended sessions.
We take insurance and offer private pay rates. You'll know the cost before your first visit.
