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.

Would a Consultation Be Appropriate For My Family?

A consultation is an excellent first step for any family with questions or concerns about their child’s development. This service is ideal if you are:

  • Wondering if your child’s skills are developing typically.

  • Noticing challenges with communication, picky eating, sensory sensitivities, or motor skills.

  • Unsure if a full evaluation is necessary and want a professional opinion first.

  • Waiting for an evaluation and want to get started with initial strategies.

  • Seeking a second opinion or new ideas to support your child at home.

  • Feeling overwhelmed and need a starting point with actionable advice.

How Can a Consultation Help My Family?

A consultation provides your family with targeted support and expert direction. It can help by:

  • Providing Peace of Mind: Get your specific questions answered directly by a licensed and experienced therapist.

  • Saving Time and Reducing Stress: Quickly determine the most effective path forward for your child without committing to a full evaluation process.

  • Offering Immediate Support: You don’t have to wait to start making a difference. You’ll leave with practical strategies you can implement the same day.

  • Clarifying Complex Issues: Our therapists can help demystify developmental concerns and explain them in a way that is easy to understand.

  • Building Your Confidence: Feel more equipped and confident in your ability to support your child’s unique needs.
