We offer speech and language screenings to briefly assess your child’s speech, language, and play skills to determine if a comprehensive evaluation is warranted. These screenings usually take 5-10 minutes as a licensed speech-language pathologist talks and plays with your child. If you have concerns about your child’s communication skills a phone consultation can also be scheduled. You will talk with a licensed speech-language pathologist to discuss your child’s speech and language skills and decide if an evaluation is warranted.

A full and individualized evaluation will be completed using formal and informal assessment, a parent interview, teacher and caregiver questionnaires, and speech and language samples. Depending on the child’s age and attention span, evaluations are usually completed in 45-60 minutes. Following the evaluation, you will receive an evaluation report which will include recommendations and a treatment plan to best address the areas of difficulty identified during the evaluation.

Are you a parent of someone just developing their little voice? Do you have questions about speech and language development? Do you want to learn evidenced based strategies to better assist your child as they acquire and develop their communication skills? Our licensed speech-language pathologists provide parent coaching and education over the phone or virtually via Zoom to empower you as you support your child’s typical speech and language development.

Is your child experiencing difficulty chewing or swallowing? Do they often cough, choke, or gag while eating or drinking? Are they experiencing difficulty transitioning to different food textures? Are they experiencing difficulty with breast or bottle feeding? Are they an extremely picky eater? If you answered yes to any of these questions, a feeding assessment may be indicated. Reach out today to schedule a phone consultation with a speech language pathologist to decide what the best next steps are for your child.

At Little Voices, we believe therapy should be play-based, child-led, and family-centered because we know that children learn best through play and make the best progress when skills are practiced with their family and caregivers. We provide these services in the child’s natural environment; home, daycare, preschool, or private school.

Little Voices offers Caregiver-Child Communication Classes called Talking Tots to provide parents with strategies and tools to help encourage and facilitate language development at home. Play based classes will keep children engaged through toys, music, and play while giving them the opportunity to socialize with peers.
