An initial evaluation involves:

• A parent interview
• Observing and interacting with your child
• Standardized assessments, when appropriate
• A written report and personalized recommendations

Session frequency and duration are customized after the initial evaluation.

If your child is not meeting communication milestones, is hard to understand, or shows frustration when trying to speak, a speech-language evaluation can help determine if therapy is beneficial. You can also schedule a free consultation to discuss your concerns.
