What We Offer

Diagnostic

A diagnostic appointment with our speech language pathologist is a comprehensive evaluation designed to better understand you or your child's communication or swallowing concerns. During the appointment, one of our speech-language pathologists will discuss relevant medical, educational, and/or vocational history, listen to your concerns, and complete a variety of age-appropriate assessments and activities.

Following the evaluation, the speech-language pathologist will review the results, explain any findings, and discuss recommendations for treatment or additional services if needed. Our goal is to provide a clear understanding of communication strengths and challenges while developing a plan to support successful communication in everyday life.

Evaluation appointments may vary in length depending on the individual's age and specific concerns.

Therapy

Speech therapy appointments are individualized sessions designed to help improve communication and/or swallowing skills and support progress toward specific goals. During each appointment, our speech-language pathologist will engage patients in targeted activities, exercises, and strategies tailored to their unique needs.

The speech-language pathologist will monitor progress, adjust goals as needed, and provide guidance and activities that can be practiced at home to support continued improvement between visits.
