Here are some FAQs about our Individual Speech and Language Therapy Sessions.

How long are your sessions?: Individual therapy sessions may be scheduled for 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes, and more. Many families prefer scheduling multiple hours of therapy at one time such as 2 - 4 hour sessions. We are able to be very flexible and individualized therapy sessions based on the current needs of each family. The amount and duration depends on many variables and is decided upon after the Evaluation. 

How often are your sessions scheduled?: Most families participate within 1 - 2 sessions per week; however, some families choose to participate within 3- 4 sessions per week. We are able to be very flexible and individualized therapy sessions based on the current needs of each family. The amount and duration depends on many variables and is decided upon after the Evaluation. 

What diagnosis do you work with for individual therapy?: At KidSpeak we work with kids from 18 months all the way through adulthood with a variety of diagnosis including: language delays, language disorders, articulation disorders, phonological disorders, social pragmatic communication disorder, Autism, Non-verbal language disorder, Sensory Processing Disorder, Apraxia, Selective Mutism, ADHD, Anxiety, Dyslexia, children and adults who do not have a diagnosis but may have a weakness in executive functioning and emotional regulation skill; and more.

What will my child be working on during their sessions?: Every session looks different as they are 100% individualized. In addition, we work with ages 18 months through aduthood….so each session looks very different. Within our sessions we work on a variety of skills such as: articulation, voice/volume, play, social play, receptive language, expressive language, executive functioning, emotional regulation, classroom skills, following direction, writing skills, and so much more.

What do your sessions look like?: All of our sessions are 100% individualized for each child/adult. For our little ones 18 months to 2 years this may look like a big play sessions where we are playing different toys while incorporating a parent within our play. For our kids 2 years to 7 years our sessions look like a fun preschool/prek/kindergarten environment with fun unstructured play, structured play, child led play activities, structured learnings times, and more. We typically start with a preferred emotionally regulating play activity, then move to circle time where we different structured learning objectives paired with a weekly themed book, we then move to centers where our kids choose from a variety of theme based and child centered activities, we then may go to the gym, have snack, and so much more. For our kids 7 and up our sessions look like a mixture of a play date paired with fun structured learning times.

What models do you use in your therapy sessions?: All of our therapists follow the SCERTS® and Social Thinking® within their sessions combined with elements from More Than Words, TalkAbility, It Takes Two to Talk (The Hanen Center®), The Expanding Expression Tool, a variety of visual supports, Social Stories and Books, social cognitive approaches as well and much more.

What do we receive with our sessions as far as parent training/feedback?: Our goal is to not only make progress in our sessions but to carryover this progress at home, school, dance, soccer, church, etc.  In order to do this your therapist will provide you with a number of tools in a variety of ways such as: 1) counseling: your therapist will send you a counseling email detailing what they worked on; your child’s performance, what to work on at home, and more — every 2-4 weeks (with the exception of May, August and December); 2) phone call: families may schedule a 20-30 minute phone call with their therapist throughout each semester; 3) home programming packets: your therapist will provide you with home programming packets focusing on different tools/tips/strategies to begin to use at home — 1- 2 times a month (with the exception of May, August and December); 4) therapy observations: some families are able to sit in and observe sessions learning hands; and more. In addition, families may request an End of Semester Progress report at an additional cost.
