LET’S BEGIN WITH AN EVALUATION
At Can Speak Therapy, we will start by evaluating your child’s communication skills to discover their individual strengths and areas of need.
You will be greeted by one of our speech therapists, who will interact with your child during play or movement activities to get an idea of how they communicate in a natural context. We may also administer a formal test to assess their skills in your area of concern.
Once the evaluation process is complete, we will explain our findings in a written report and create an individualized plan of care to address your child’s needs.
TAKING AN INDIVIDUALIZED APPROACH TO THERAPY
At Can Speak Therapy, your child will learn new speech and language skills as they move, play, and tell stories. We often use targeted activities and interactive games to make the hard work feel like fun!
Our speech therapy sessions are always focused on your child’s individual needs, and you will play an integral role in the learning process. Our goal is to provide you with resources, tips, and support tailored specifically to your child’s needs so that they continue to build new skills and grow outside of speech therapy sessions.
