Following the evaluation, your child’s speech-language pathologist will provide recommendations for ongoing speech therapy if indicated. Speech therapy sessions are tailored to accommodate your child’s developmental stage and needs. For younger children, caregivers actively participate in sessions, learning valuable cues and strategies to support their child's communication development at home. As children get older, they may choose to attend sessions alone or have their caregiver present. In either case, caregivers will receive updates and tips to stay informed and involved in their child’s progress.

Nearly everyone is a candidate for telehealth services. Research shows that telehealth is a feasible and effective way to provide speech-language evaluations and therapy! We have seen firsthand how effective this model can be for young children, teens, and adults. Importantly, we do not expect young children to attend to the screen for the duration of the visit. Instead, we use evidence-based strategies focused on caregiver training to provide you with the tools to take control of your child’s communication development. We think you’ll be happily surprised at how effective and convenient telehealth can be! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d90564c0e35575d5ae3bc0/1707454929097-TNRKF0P03FTNUHS49PJG/image-asset.jpeg Telehealth - What does a telehealth speech/language therapy session for a young child look like? Our telehealth sessions are designed not only to engage your child in fun and meaningful activities but also to empower you, the caregiver, to become an essential partner in their progress. Your child’s experienced speech-language pathologist will guide you through interactive activities and provide personalized coaching to help you effectively support your child's speech and language development. We focus on teaching you practical strategies and techniques that you can integrate into your daily routines, turning everyday moments into opportunities for learning and growth. We recognize that young children may not always engage with the clinician on the screen for the entire session. That's why our approach emphasizes parent training and coaching, empowering you to become a "speech therapist at home." Together, we'll create a supportive and nurturing environment where your child feels comfortable and motivated to communicate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d90564c0e35575d5ae3bc0/1649704351382-TOU7MAPOX6TPLSTEKWLS/unsplash-image-fbUFrRAVlgQ.jpg Telehealth - What do I need to get started with telehealth speech and language services?
