Speech therapy
Your child will work one on one with a speech language pathologist to improve their speech and/or language skills and maximize their communication potential. We want your child to be able to communicate clearly and confidently at home, at school, and in the community. We provide services for speech sound delays, expressive and receptive language disorders, and written language disorders (reading and writing) for children ages 3-18.
Why cHOOSE hoNEYSUCKLE sPEECH tHERAPY?
Our goal as your speech therapy provider is to empower both the child and the parent to improve and maximize communication potential. We invite parents to attend every speech therapy session in order to teach parents and caregivers how to promote progress towards goals at home. In addition, our clinic offers flexible scheduling. You do not have to commit to the same time each week. If you would like to bounce around between openings week to week that is ok, we know that life requires flexibility! Our weekly sessions are generally 45 minutes in length to allow plenty of time to practice your goals and answer questions as needed while initial evaluations may run 1-2 hours in order to provide a comprehensive and individualized assessment. We offer initial evaluation appointments within 1-2 weeks of completing an initial phone screening to make sure that Honeysuckle is the right fit for your child. Lastly, we take pride in completing more than the required annual continuing education requirements in order to provide you with up to date and evidenced based treatment. We hope to see you soon!
