Free Speech and Language Screening
15 minutes
When a child is not meeting communication milestones as expected, early intervention provides an important opportunity to help them get back on track. Timing matters. Identifying concerns early allows children to get support sooner, before communication challenges begin to affect other areas of learning and development. I want parents to have a quick and simple way to identify a need for support, which is why I offer free 15-minute speech and language screenings for children from birth through 5 years old.
The screening provides a brief look at major communication milestones for your child’s age, including language comprehension, language expression, and speech sound development. Based on the screening, we will discuss whether your child’s communication skills appear to be developing as expected, should continue to be monitored, or if a comprehensive speech and language evaluation is recommended.
If you’ve been wondering about your child’s communication skills but aren’t sure if a comprehensive evaluation is needed, complete this brief form and we will contact you to schedule your child’s appointment. No referral is needed, and there is no obligation to schedule additional services.
Please note: This screening is not a comprehensive speech and language evaluation. It is intended to provide a general indication of whether further evaluation or monitoring may be appropriate.
Phone Consultation
10-15 minutes
If you think you or a family member might benefit from speech, language, or voice therapy, the first step is to schedule a brief phone consultation. Based on the information you share, we will decide whether to schedule an evaluation. If a speech, language, or voice evaluation is not appropriate at this time, we will offer recommendations to get you on the right path.

Initial Evaluation - Speech Sound Production and Language
60-90 minutes
The speech and language evaluation is a comprehensive assessment of the ability to understand what others say, to share our own thoughts and ideas with others, to recognize and use gestures or facial expressions socially, and the ability to produce speech sounds in words or sentences that others can understand.
Individual Treatment of Speech, Language, Voice
45 minutes
Speech, Language, and Voice Therapy – Individual is a 45-minute session tailored to your communication needs and goals. Appointments are available in person or via teletherapy (video session). Therapy activities are individualized based on age, diagnosis, goals, and participation, with home practice and education woven into each session to help carry skills over into everyday life.
Speech therapy can be hard work, but we still have fun! We strive to create a supportive, engaging environment where you or your family member feels comfortable trying new things, making mistakes, and building confidence as your communication skills grow.
Initial Evaluation - Voice & Resonance
60-90 minutes
This assessment of voice and resonance looks at the ability to produce clear voicing with appropriate resonance in various speaking situations. It is intended for persons with cleft palate, velopharyngeal dysfunction, degenerative neurological disorders, vocal nodules, and other voicing disorders. It is also intended for persons diagnosed with Exercise-Induced Laryngeal Obstruction.
NOTE: Because changes in the voice can be indicative of other health concerns, all Voice-Resonance Evaluations are required to schedule an evaluation with an ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat or Otolaryngologist) for direct examination of the airway.
Initial Evaluation - Speech Sound Production
60-75 minutes
The speech sound evaluation focuses primarily on the ability to produce speech sounds in words or sentences that others can understand. It is an in-depth assessment of the oral-facial structures (jaw, tongue, lips, cheeks, palate) and how it functions during speech and for non-speaking tasks.
NOTE: Children must be at least 5 yrs old for this evaluation. Younger than 5 will need a comprehensive speech and language evaluation.
