This service is ideal for a number of different situations, including:
- families who are concerned about their child's skills, but aren't quite ready to have their child formally evaluated
- families who have had their child evaluated and the child did not qualify for therapy services, but the child had a "borderline" or mild delay
- families who have had their child evaluated, but the parents question the results of the evaluation or continue to have concerns
- families who want to help their child "catch up" from a mild delay in speech/language or feeding skills
- children who have been "exited" from therapy but continue to need monitoring to ensure their skills don't backslide
how does it work?
All Screen + Support services include...
A SCREENING:
A PERSONALIZED SUPPORT PLAN:
A SCREENING:
- A thorough review of your child’s history, current skills and your concerns, either by phone or email (your choice).
- An appointment with Emily Goudreault, lead speech-language pathologist and owner, to observe and screen your child’s skills (speech/language or feeding, depending on the concern) for up to 45 minutes. The screening may be completed in-person or online, depending on your location.
A PERSONALIZED SUPPORT PLAN:
- A Personalized Support Plan, complete with strategies on how you and other caregivers can support your child’s skills. The Personalized Support Plan is written just for your child and your family, customized based on the family history you provide, your child’s current skills, your concerns, your child’s temperament and personality, and your goals. All strategies focus on providing FUNCTIONAL skills at home to help your child feel successful and decrease frustration.
- Follow-up appointments are provided to offer you and your child continued support. All of our Screen + Support consultation packages are designed to fit in with your busy schedule.
