What are Consultation Services?
Our Consultation Services offer a dedicated 30-minute session for families to meet one-on-one with a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) or Occupational Therapist (OT). This service is designed as a focused opportunity for you to discuss specific concerns regarding your child’s communication, feeding, sensory processing, or developmental skills.
During the session, our therapist will listen to your questions, review your child’s needs, and provide professional impressions and initial suggestions based on the information you share.
As a Parent or Guardian, What Can I Expect From a Consultation?
Our consultations are designed to be focused, informative, and empowering. The goal is to provide you with immediate value and a clear direction.
You will leave the consultation with:
A Clearer Understanding: Gain insight into your child’s strengths and the specific areas that may benefit from support.
Practical Strategies: Receive concrete recommendations and activities that you can begin using at home right away.
Guidance on Next Steps: Get a professional opinion on whether a full evaluation, ongoing therapy, or simply monitoring at home is the most appropriate next step for your child.
We believe that informed parents are empowered partners in their child's success. Our consultations are built on a foundation of listening, collaboration, and providing clear, professional guidance to help your family navigate the path ahead with confidence and less uncertainty.
