We also partner with parents to encourage new communication skills in daily life. Your whole family will feel supported every step of the way!

Taking the first step

Initial Assessment

We will begin with a comprehensive speech and language assessment to learn more about your child's communication skills. Assessments allow us to pinpoint your child’s strengths and challenges so that we can create a personalized therapy plan to help them reach their goals.

As a parent, we know that you are the expert on your child. We will ask you questions about their day-to-day communication skills and then make our own observations during playful interactions, informal testing, and standardized assessment when necessary.

We are committed to making your family feel comfortable during the assessment. Even though we are working hard to paint a picture of your child’s skills, the process should look and feel a lot like play!
