Services
01
Virtual consultation
Consultations can be 30 minutes, 45 minutes or 1 hour. This consultancy option goes beyond traditional speech therapy and can include anyone on your child’s team (e.g. caregivers, teachers, therapists). This option can help different people on your child’s team feel supported, informed & on the same page regarding communication & social development
02
Speech & language screening
Evaluations last at least 1 hour. They involve a combination of in person tasks in any environment of your choice (preferably somewhere where your child can play freely and focus on structured tasks).Video submissions, parent questionnaires & interviews are sometimes used to get a holistic view of your child. A comprehensive evaluation report with goals and recommendations is provided about 10 days after the evaluation
03
Speech & language evaluation
If your child already has a comprehensive evaluation report, we can conduct a 1 hour screening before beginning therapy services. Therapy goals are set collaboratively (with the therapist & parent/caregiver)
04
Speech & language therapy sessions
Sessions can last 45 minutes or 1 hour in your child’s home, school, daycare or any other natural environment. Comprehensive notes are provided at the end of each session
05
PLAY Project package
This is a specialized program for Autistic children that is heavy on parent/caregiver involvement. It includes 1 evaluation and a series of 1 hour home visits. The parent or caregiver is coached by the therapist and has to be present at all times. Learn more about PLAY Project here: https://playproject.org/
