Service Options:

In order to address each child’s communication needs within a natural environment, all services are provided in the child’s home or community setting.*

Phone consultation:  I will chat with you about your concerns, questions, and how I may be able to help address your needs.

Screening:  I will come to your home and complete a screening (brief assessment) to evaluate if a full, formal assessment is warranted.  This is not a required service and may be omitted if you wish to proceed directly to a formal, full evaluation.

Full Evaluation:  I will come to your home and complete an applicable full assessment to determine specific areas of need.  Reports of assessment results are provided orally and written in a formal diagnostic report.   A therapy treatment plan, including applicable goals, is created based on your child’s specific areas of need with your input. If your child is on an IEP, please provide a copy at the evaluation.

Individual Therapy Sessions:  Therapy is provided one-on-one in three increment options, 30-minute, 45-minute, or 60-minute sessions.  Length and frequency of sessions are determined on a case-by-case basis. **   Sessions are provided in your home where you are able to observe and receive tips and training to support your child outside of the therapy sessions.

*At times, therapy may be conducted in a community setting, per parent agreement, to promote generalization of skills across settings and communication partners.

**Early intervention services are contracted with Envision.
