Speech and Language Screening: Cost - $55 

  • Duration: The screening typically lasts around 30 minutes, although this may vary depending on the individual child's attention span and specific needs.

  • Purpose: The speech screening is a brief, informal assessment and observation of a child's speech and language skills, as compared to same-age peers. These initial speech and language screenings categorize students into two groups quickly:

    1. 1) those who do not require intervention.

    2. 2) those who do require intervention and possible further evaluation (i.e., "speech therapy sessions" and/or "formal speech-language evaluation)

  • My Simple Process:☺️

    • First, reach out to me directly for the speech request packet. 

    • Next, please fill out and sign all the forms in the packet. You will email all the completed forms back to me for review, and I will then contact you to schedule an appointment.

    • Last, you will receive a speech screening report with results from the screener via email. If your child’s skills are age-appropriate, no further action is needed. If speech and language concerns are identified, recommendations for the best next steps for your child, such as speech therapy sessions or additional testing if concerns are significant, will be included in the report.

    • I am available by phone or Zoom meeting to review my report with you and answer any questions or concerns you may have.

Speech Therapy Sessions In-Person: Cost -$90(30 minutes), $135 (45 minutes), $180 (60 minutes) 

  • An individualized speech therapy plan tailored to your child's unique needs, with clear goals and objectives to ensure optimal progress and success. Typically, therapy sessions are scheduled once or twice a week, each lasting 30 minutes.

  • Following each session, parents will receive a summary via text, along with speech homework that takes approximately 2-5 minutes for additional practice. Home programs are designed to support your child's progress and encourage the application of skills outside of therapy.

Virtual Speech Therapy via Zoom: Cost -$60 (30 minutes) 

  •  Similar to in-person sessions, parents will have the opportunity to discuss all details related to speech therapy, and I will create a personalized treatment plan accordingly. Student session notes and homework are sent to parents after each session, either by email or text.

  • The parent must sign a consent form for telehealth services before the commencement of any virtual sessions.

  • Telehealth provides a convenient and accessible model for delivering speech services, enabling families to participate in therapy from the comfort of their own homes. Virtual Speech Therapy mirrors the one-on-one intervention format, utilizing a computer, iPad, or tablet via a HIPAA-compliant platform.

  • Recent research from ASHA has shown that outpatient SLP treatments, delivered either in-person or via telepractice, yield comparable levels of improvement on clinician-reported measures. During virtual sessions, students and I will be able to see one another, allowing for effective speech modeling and facilitation. We can also share specialized digital activities in real-time, enhancing the experience as if we were together in person.

  • Parents are encouraged to participate in telehealth sessions, especially for young or preschool-aged students.

Formal Speech and Language Evaluation: Cost - $650

  • Includes: Articulation, Speech Intelligibility, Expressive/Receptive Language, Voice, and Oral Motor Skills (if any additional testing is needed to address specific areas, then the cost may increase to account for extra time required. However, this will be discussed before starting any testing)

  • Duration: Testing typically requires approximately 2.5 to 1.5 hours spent with the student, which can be divided into two sessions, if needed. 

  • The purpose is to examine various aspects of speech and language, including how your child comprehends words and sentences, how they express themselves, their clarity of speech, and the development of their social communication skills. During the evaluation, the SLP utilizes standardized tests, play-based tasks, observations, and input from parents to assess the child's communication abilities. This provides a comprehensive overview of your child’s strengths and any areas that may require support.

  • The results help answer essential questions like:

    • • Does my child’s communication fall within the expected range for their age?

    • • Are there specific skills that need extra support or therapy?

    • • What strategies, services, or accommodations will help my child succeed at home and school?

    Ultimately, the evaluation is not just about identifying difficulties—it’s about creating a roadmap to help your child communicate confidently and effectively.

  • After testing, this SLP will write up a comprehensive report that includes all formal and informal test results, standardized scores compared to your child’s same-age peers, impressions, final results, and specific recommendations. This report will be emailed to you directly.

  • I will review the report via phone or Zoom and answer any questions you may have, as well as guide you on the next steps to support your child best.
