A speech assessment will provide a comprehensive look at your child's communication abilities and will include an in-depth evaluation of one or more of the following areas of development:
-
Speech sounds
-
Language use
-
Oral motor abilities
-
Pragmatic and social language
-
Fluency
-
Voice quality
A combination of formal and informal assessments, parent and/or teacher interviews, as well as observations at home or at school, will be used to determine your child's communication abilities.
A formal evaluation report will be provided to you after the assessment which will indicate your child's diagnosis (if applicable), current strengths and weaknesses, and specific treatment recommendations.​

SPEECH THERAPY
contact me for rates
Treatment sessions are held in the home, at barnehage/ kindergarten, or at school. Providing therapy in the child's "safe space" helps them feel more comfortable and confident during sessions. It also allows for easy and consistent communication between myself and the parents/caregivers about the child's progress.
I provide speech therapy in the form of direct intervention, parent/caregiver coaching, or a combination of both approaches depending on the child's age and specific needs. Specific and individually designed treatment goals are agreed upon before therapy begins and progress reports are shared with family/caregivers throughout the treatment process.
