OUR SPEECH AND LANGUAGE SERVICES
We provide in-home speech and language services for both English and/or French speaking children. Committed to being client-centered, our private services are designed to meet your child’s challenges and goals.
Assessment
We provide assessment of communication skills, including social communication, expressive and receptive language, speech production, literacy skills and fluency skills.
This may include formal assessment, involving the use of standardized tests or other informal measures of observation, parental report and direct interaction.
We are happy to provide formal reports upon request at a nominal cost.
Treatment
Treatment involves sessions that are structured around targeting your child’s speech and language goals. These can be play-based or structured, depending on the goals and age of the child.
Sessions can involve direct work with your child and/or with parents to coach you on how to provide intervention for your child (often used in cases of early stuttering or social communication difficulties).
Consultation
Consultation involves meeting with parents, caregivers and/or teachers in order to determine the challenges your child is facing and strategies that can support them in achieving their goals.
Consultations are also often provided during treatment sessions. For instance, we might review strategies or home practice at the end of each in-home session, or have a conversation with a teacher on what was targeted in a school session.
Written suggestions and home practice sheets are provided upon request from the parent/caregiver.
