Does your child need Speech Therapy Services?

You may be asking yourself if your child’s development is ‘on track’ with others the same age.

  • Do you or others have difficulty understanding your child’s verbal speech?
  • Does your child have difficulty following directions, playing with peers, or engaging in a conversation?
  • Or maybe your child becomes frustrated when trying to communicate and has frequent meltdowns.

You might be asking why and wondering if something should be done. You’re not alone!

A speech-language evaluation is an excellent way to get many questions answered. Heather SLP can assess your child’s expressive & receptive language skills, speech sounds/patterns, social skills, and more.

Heather's Process

Understand

Heather begins by listening to, and understanding the concerns you have for your child.

Evaluate

Then she evaluates your child’s abilities via online standardized testing and clinical observation.

Recommend

Based on the results, she’ll make a recommendation that suits your child's needs.

Plan

If therapy is warranted, she will establish a unique plan of care, and join you in the journey toward progress.

First Time With Teletherapy?

If you’ve ever considered that teletherapy might be right for your child, chances are, it is!

Parents are often surprised at just how well online speech therapy works for them. The ability to have a presence inside your child's home environment offers unique and valuable insight.

Studies have shown that teletherapy achieves the same or better results as in-person treatment. Learn more about the telepractice model from the American Speech-Language Hearing Association  (ASHA).
