Before beginning therapy, an evaluation is needed to better understand your child’s current communication skills and determine the best next steps.

This evaluation helps us create meaningful, individualized goals that support your child in their everyday life.

What to expect

The evaluation takes approximately 90 minutes and is designed to feel comfortable and engaging for your child.

It may include:

• Getting to know your child through play and interaction

• Talking with you about your concerns, goals, and your child’s history

• Observing how your child communicates in different situations

• Using standardized assessments, activities, or other measures to better understand their skills

Every evaluation is tailored to your child, so we can focus on what matters most to your family.

After the evaluation

You will receive a written report that includes:

• A summary of your child’s strengths and areas of need

• Personalized therapy goals

• Clear recommendations for next steps

We will also review the results together and make sure you feel confident with the plan moving forward.

Evaluation fee

The evaluation fee is $300, due prior to or on the day of the assessment.

In some cases, the evaluation fee may be waived if your child has a recent (within the last 2 years):

• IEP with a speech-language evaluation, or

• speech-language assessment from another provider

Therapy sessions are designed to feel engaging, supportive, and meaningful for your child—while also giving you the tools to support their progress at home.

Each session is personalized based on your child’s strengths, needs, and interests, so they stay motivated and confident as they build new skills.

What sessions look like

Sessions are client-led and interactive, and may include:

• Games, toys, and activities your child enjoys

• Evidence-based treatment approaches for speech sounds, language, or communication skills

• Opportunities to practice skills in real-life situations

• Gentle guidance to help your child feel successful

We focus on building skills that matter in your child’s everyday life—not just during therapy.

Caregiver involvement

You are an important part of your child’s progress.

During sessions, you’ll receive:

• Simple strategies you can use at home

• Guidance on how to support communication during daily routines

• Time to ask questions and talk through what’s working

This helps your child make faster, more meaningful progress beyond our sessions.

Session length & frequency

• Sessions are typically 45 or 60 minutes

• Most children attend 1–2 times per week, depending on their needs

We’ll work together to create a schedule that fits your child and your family.

Where therapy takes place

Therapy can happen in environments that feel most natural and helpful for your child:

• In your home

• In the community (parks, stores, etc.)

• Virtually

• In small group settings (when appropriate)

Practicing skills in real-life settings helps children use what they learn in everyday situations.

Rates

• 45-minute session: $120

• 60-minute session: $155

• Group sessions: $80 per child

Community-based sessions are designed to help teens and young adults build the skills they need to navigate everyday life with confidence and independence.

Sessions take place in natural, real-world settings—such as a grocery store, coffee shop, library, or other community spaces—so clients can practice skills where they matter most.

What we work on

These sessions may target:

• Social interaction skills with peers and community members

• Self-advocacy and communication in real-life situations

• Decision-making and problem-solving

• Organization and planning skills

• Building confidence and independence in everyday activities

Each session is individualized to support your child’s goals and comfort level.

Why it matters

Practicing skills in real-world environments helps your child:

• Feel more confident interacting with others

• Become more independent in daily life

• Navigate new situations with greater ease

Our goal is to support your child in building skills that feel functional, meaningful, and empowering.

Rates

• 45-minute session: $120

• 60-minute session: $155

Sessions may begin in the home and gradually transition into the community, based on your child’s needs and comfort level.

Does your child have an AAC device that they’re not using as effectively as you’d hoped? We’re here to help.

We provide in-depth AAC programming to better match your child’s communication needs, making their device easier to use and more meaningful in everyday life.

What this includes

AAC programming may involve:

• Adding or removing icons

• Organizing vocabulary for easier access

• Customizing the system based on your child’s communication style and goals

Our goal is to make your child’s device feel intuitive, functional, and empowering.

How it works

AAC programming is completed asynchronously (outside of a live session), allowing for thoughtful, detailed customization.

Rates

• $100 per 60 minutes of programming

Working as a team is an essential part of successful speech therapy.

In addition to the caregiver coaching built into therapy sessions, dedicated consultation time can be helpful for more in-depth conversations about your child’s needs—especially when you want space to talk without your child present.

What we focus on

These sessions provide an opportunity to:

• Ask questions and problem-solve challenges

• Learn strategies to support communication at home

• Talk through progress and next steps

• Explore ways to incorporate supports into daily routines

Our goal is to help you feel confident and supported in helping your child communicate.

How it works

Consultations are available via phone or telehealth and can be scheduled as needed.
Sessions begin at 30 minutes.

Rates

• $60 per 30-minute session

• $120 per 60-minute session

Please note

These sessions are designed to supplement therapy and do not replace direct therapy sessions with your child.

If you have concerns about your child’s school evaluation, you have the right to seek a second opinion through an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE).

I offer IEEs for both Speech & Language and Assistive Technology (for communication purposes).

An IEE is a comprehensive assessment completed by a qualified professional who is not employed by your child’s school district. It provides an objective, outside perspective on your child’s strengths, needs, and learning profile.

Parents often request an IEE when:

• They disagree with the school’s evaluation results

• They feel important areas were missed or not fully explored

• They want a deeper understanding of their child’s communication, learning, or developmental needs

As part of the IEE process, I:

• Review existing school records and evaluations

• Conduct thorough, individualized assessments

• Observe and interact with your child in a supportive, child-friendly way

• Provide a detailed, easy-to-understand report

• Offer clear recommendations for therapy, supports, and school services

IEEs can be requested through your school district, and in some cases, the district may fund the evaluation.

My goal is to help you feel confident, informed, and empowered to advocate for your child—so they can receive the support they truly need to thrive.

It’s important to know that an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) is truly independent. In some cases, my findings may align with the school district’s evaluation. When that happens, I will explain why the results are consistent and help you understand what they mean for your child’s support and services.
