Not sure what therapy might be the right fit for your child? Let’s talk! I offer a free 15-minute consultation where we can discuss your child’s needs, any challenges you’re facing, and how we can work together to help your child succeed. Whether you’re a parent or a professional seeking advice, I’m here to answer your questions.
What to Expect:
- Discussion of your child’s background, language development, and any current concerns.
- Recommendations for therapy options or next steps.
- Answers to any questions you may have about therapy, services, or bilingual approaches.
Evaluations
Comprehensive Assessments for Your Child
A thorough evaluation is the first step in developing a personalized therapy plan. I conduct in-depth assessments using a variety of formal and informal tools to observe and understand your child’s current speech and language skills. This helps us create a targeted plan to meet their specific needs.
What to Expect:
- Observation & Testing: I use a range of assessment tools to evaluate language, play, and social interaction. This may include standardized tests, informal observation, and interactive play sessions with the child.
- Comprehensive Report: After the evaluation, I will provide a detailed report outlining the findings, along with specific recommendations for therapy goals and strategies.
- No Time Restrictions: Evaluations are not bound by insurance time limits, so I take the time necessary to fully understand your child’s needs and abilities.
Assessment Tools Used:
- Formal, standardized batteries for articulation.
- Formal, standardized batteries for language skills (both oral and signed languages).
- Dynamic and play-based assessments.
Therapy
tailored child-led Therapy for Ages 2-18
Therapy sessions are personalized to your child’s age, developmental stage, and communication needs. I work with children from preschool age through high school, incorporating a mix of play-based activities, hands-on learning, and experiential approaches to keep children engaged and motivated.
Therapy Includes:
- Pre-Preschool (Ages 0-2): Parent coaching that supports language development in ASL and spoken English.
- Preschool (Ages 2-5): Play-based therapy that supports language development in ASL and spoken English, using thematic activities and hands-on learning.
- Elementary & Beyond (Ages 6-18): Structured therapy sessions that transition from play-based to more focused, goal-directed activities, still incorporating your child’s interests to keep them engaged.
Options Available:
- Home-Based & Flexible: Therapy is often conducted in the comfort of your home. Available to meet families at their local library, serve children while at school (depending on their placement), and/or conduct session in other community locations.
- Virtual Therapy: For those who are unable to attend in person, virtual therapy is available.
