Professional Speech Pathology Services

Assessment

An initial speech therapy assessment is essential for evaluating an individual's language and communication skills in relation to developmental or functional expectations.

A detailed discussion of the assessment results with clients and/or their caregivers provides valuable insights into strengths, challenges, and any necessary interventions.

A comprehensive written report can be provided for an additional fee.

Therapy

Our professional therapists tailor each session to the individual's needs, setting personalized goals and strategies. We conduct regular reviews with clients and/or their caregivers to track progress and adjust therapy as needed.

• Personalized one-on-one sessions that are engaging and interactive, ensuring a motivating and enjoyable learning experience.
• Comprehensive feedback, including strategies and home-based activities to support continued progress in daily life, work, or school.
