How Speech Therapy Works

Getting started with online speech therapy is simple. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Free Consultation

We begin with a free phone or online consultation to understand your needs, goals, and concerns. We'll help determine if our services are the right fit for you or your child. Check out our services for more information on what we treat!

2. Personalized Evaluation

Next, we schedule a comprehensive speech and language evaluation. This helps us identify strengths, areas for improvement, and create a customized therapy plan tailored to your specific needs.

3. Therapy Sessions Begin

You’ll start one-on-one therapy sessions with a licensed speech-language pathologist. Sessions may be in-person or online, depending on your preference and location.

4. Ongoing Support & Progress Tracking

We keep you informed every step of the way. Progress is reviewed regularly, and therapy plans are adjusted as needed to ensure steady improvement.

5. Graduation & Maintenance

Once goals are met, we provide strategies for maintaining progress and offer optional check-ins to support long-term success.
