Prioritizing Speech Therapy-FAQs

WHY USE PRIORITIZING SPEECH THERAPY?

We consider each of our clients as part of our extended family, and we care for them with the same sensitivity and dedication we would give to a family member. We go above and beyond for every individual on our caseload. Our client’s progress, confidence, and communication skills matter deeply to us. We take immense pride in every case, approaching each client with intention, empathy, and a commitment to excellence. Whether it’s staying up late to fine-tune a session plan or finding creative ways to reach a goal, we give nothing less than our best because our clients deserve nothing less.

We understand the demands families face, so I strive to offer flexible scheduling and convenient therapy services, whether in person or virtual, to reduce stress and support consistent participation in therapy.

CAN TELETHERAPY OR A HYBRID APPROACH BE EFFECTIVE?

Yes. Research has shown that teletherapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy, with the added benefit of receiving therapy in the comfort of your own home. Teletherapy allows for more flexible scheduling, addresses transportation issues, and encourages greater family involvement, which facilitates the application of new skills in the individual’s natural environment. A hybrid approach combines in-person individualized therapy with at-home reinforcement.

WHAT DISORDERS DO YOU SPECIALIZE IN?

Although we have vast knowledge in all areas, we specialize in articulation and phonological disorders, orofacial myofunctional therapy, social communication disorders, speech and language therapy for late talkers, and children with various developmental disabilities such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Down syndrome, as well as expressive and receptive language disorders. We are also trained in Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC) for Apraxia of Speech.

CAN YOU COACH/TRAIN PARENTS TO UTILIZE SPECIFIC SPEECH-LANGUAGE TECHNIQUES?

Absolutely! We understand therapy can be costly, therefore, we offer affordable training sessions for parents to implement specific techniques at their own pace. We coach the caregiver every step of the way to guarantee positive results. If a child has difficulties learning from a parent or caregiver, then either a hybrid or one-on-one session is recommended. Every case is different, and we encourage the family to speak with us so we can decide together what is the best approach for their child.
