Curious what the next steps might be?
Generally, all therapy services for children of any age will begin with a screening or a more thorough evaluation process in order to determine the most appropriate next steps. However, there may be situations in which this is not necessary, such as when an evaluation has been recently completed by another speech-language pathologist as part of a school IEP process or hospital intake.
These are the goals of a screening:
If you would prefer a formal evaluation that renders a comprehensive evaluation report that you can share with your son’s school and/or medical teams, a full speech and language evaluation starts at $650 and generally requires 2-3 visits. These render a detailed evaluation report, generally 10-25 pages long.
These are the goals of a screening:
- What are the child's strengths and areas of improvement related to speech/language skills?
- Is there a speech/language delay or disorder and if so, how severe?
- What are the best next steps moving forward? We always talk about strategies to try at home, and we would also discuss whether therapy is warranted at this point, and if so, area options for receiving therapy, what goals might be and some of your other questions and concerns.
- With screenings, you do not typically receive a formal report, although I may send some handwritten notes home about the skills we discussed, strategies for home and next steps.
- Screenings are offered at the normal hourly therapy rate.
