Get Started

Phone Consultation

Contact us for a free consultation to talk about your child’s speech, language, and communication skills. You can share your concerns, ask questions, and learn whether a speech and language evaluation may be helpful. Together, we’ll discuss the next steps and can schedule an evaluation if needed.

Evaluation

Our speech and language evaluations provide a comprehensive look at your child’s communication skills, including speech, language, and social communication. The evaluation helps identify your child’s strengths, areas of need, and whether speech therapy is needed. Following the evaluation, you will receive a detailed written report with results, recommendations, and personalized goals to support your child’s communication development.

Speech Therapy

If speech therapy is recommended, your child will receive engaging, individualized, play-based treatment designed to support their unique communication strengths, needs, and goals. Therapy sessions typically last 45–60 minutes and may be scheduled once or twice per week based on your child’s needs, progress, and family priorities.
