Speech and Language Screening: Cost - $55  (To determine if ST is needed)

  • Duration: 30 minutes

  • 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.

  • If a child has already had a speech therapy screener, evaluation, or speech therapy services, they do not need to start with a screener. They should start with an initial therapy session, and any informal screeners needed to update baselines will be done at that time, along with speech therapy.

Speech Therapy Sessions In-Person Cost: 30 minutes = $90; 45 minutes = $135; 60 minutes = $180

Includes:

  • An initial 45-60-minute speech therapy session is recommended. This way, the SLP has time to start speech therapy to establish rapport, complete any necessary informal screenings, and obtain updated baselines to create a treatment plan with speech goals and objectives. A summary report of the initial speech session, including any informal screening, observation, recommendations, and a treatment plan, will be emailed to parents for review.

  • After the initial speech session, therapy frequency (either 1 -2 times per week) and session length are discussed and agreed upon between the SLP and parents.

  • Following each speech session, parents will receive a brief text summary of how the session went and the goals targeted. Also, speech homework is sent home weekly (takes 2-5 minutes), so the student can get extra practice outside of speech, and it involves parents in actively supporting their child to reach their speech goals.

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

  •  As in in-person sessions, parents will have the opportunity to discuss all details of 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.

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

Formal Speech and Language Evaluation: Cost - $350 - $650

  • Speech Evaluation prices may be negotiable depending on the individual student's needs and the type of evaluation report required, to be discussed and agreed upon by parents and the SLP.

  • Duration: Testing typically requires approximately 1.5-2.5 hours 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 uses standardized tests, play-based tasks, observations, and parent input 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, a comprehensive report summarizing the results, impressions, and recommendations will be emailed directly to the parents.

  • Parents are encouraged to request a time to meet, for the SLP to review the report, answer questions, and discuss possible next steps if speech therapy is recommended and agreed upon by parents.
