The process of getting started may seem overwhelming. There have likely been a series of questions and concerns that you have been thinking and/or worrying about. You have likely heard a ton of well-meaning advice from friends, family, and even doctors…but you are still confused about what to do. This can be stressful. Well, that’s where we come in. We are here to take off some of that pressure and help you.
So, where do we begin?
The first step is to reach out to us, either by phone, text, or email. You’ll speak directly to a Speech-Language Pathologist (also known as a “Speech Therapist”). In that conversation, we will discuss what you’ve been going through and what your concerns are.
Then, based on the information you have discussed, we will make a determination of whether an evaluation is needed, as well as what specific type of evaluation is needed. There are times when a child (or adult client) has already had a previous evaluation, or is already receiving speech therapy services with another speech therapist. If this is the case, we will figure out if a new evaluation is needed. In some cases, a new evaluation is needed when a previous evaluation did not assess the specific area(s) of concern, or if changes have occurred since that time.
