Speech

Speech refers to one’s ability

to make sounds in order to communicate. A speech disorder

is one in which a child has

a problem with the production

of sounds. Often, children who struggle with articulation have

trouble producing sounds and words clearly. Our SLPs use PROMPT-based treatment to facilitate and improve speech production.

Language

Language refers to one’s ability

to understand others and express ideas through oral, written, and/or gestural communication. It does not have to do with how sounds are made.

Language is broken down into two parts: Receptive language is one’s ability to understand information. Expressive language is one’s ability to share information.

This includes a child’s ability to use words and grammar rules that dictate how words are combined to make phrases, sentences, paragraphs, and tell stories.

Expressive language also includes a child’s use of nonverbal communication (gestures, AAC, sign language, etc.) to relay meaning.

Feeding Therapy

Feeding Therapy involves the evaluation and treatment of children with feeding difficulties

and swallowing disorders.

Our SLPs use individualized feeding therapy techniques to help children who are overstuffing their mouth with food, choking, coughing during or after the swallow, consistently needing a drink after swallowing food, tongue thrusting, or who have "picky eater" issues.

Teletherapy

Teletherapy is the delivery of

speech language pathology services at a distance by linking the clinician to the client for assessment, intervention, and/or consultation.

Our practice began using teletherapy during the pandemic and has found it to be an effective and convenient method for many of our clients.

We will be continuing teletherapy via Zoom in order to meet clients' and families' needs.

Consultations & Evaluations

Consultations consist of a

45-minute meeting with Jennifer

and your child to determine if speech and language services are appropriate at this time and/or if further formal assessment is necessary. Consultations are informal, therefore, no written report is provided unless asked for, in which case, an additional fee will be determined.

Evaluations involve formal

assessments administered to your

child over the course of one or more appointments. Evaluation cost and length will vary depending on the skills assessed (i.e., articulation, language,

or both). All evaluations result in

a comprehensive written report

as well as a follow-up session with

the clinician to review the findings.

Group Therapy

Children who need to strengthen

their social communication and language skills can benefit

from small group therapy or

guided playdates with a peer. We offer various camps and groups throughout the year.
