Therapy
At Illuminate Speech we understand life is busy and therefore we work to reduce the barriers to receiving quality therapy. Providing therapy in a child's natural environment (home, private school, preschool, and daycare) is not only convenient for families, it also allows children to learn and practice skills where they will be using them. We also offer therapy via telepractice and have excellent methods to keep children engaged.
​
Families are always encouraged to be an active part of our speech therapy sessions. Parents are provided at-home practice after each session. ​​Our sessions are typically scheduled for 30- to 45-minutes and the frequency is dependent on the need of each individual child and determined as a team with the family.
Evaluations
An evaluation will assess the child's skills in the areas of concern. Evaluations typically take 1-1.5 hours and include caregiver interviews, observations, and standardized testing if possible. At the end of the session, recommendations will be made and a therapy plan will be formed with the family. The speech-language pathologist will write a report of the findings, recommendations, and suggested therapy goals.
Parent Coaching
Parent coaching is designed to support and educate parents and caregivers in:
-
Developing confidence as their child's communication model
-
Addressing attention and behavior challenges that may impede learning and communication
-
Identifying opportunities for speech and language practice within daily routines
-
Increasing opportunities for communication through play
