Assessments are administered to measure the childs speech and language skills. Assessments may include formal standardized tests or an informal assessment of communication skills along with a comprehensive parent interview and developmental history. Observation of social interactions and play will also contribute to establishing goals. Based on the results of the assessment, goals are selected, and implemented during individual speech therapy sessions. Sessions are typically scheduled for one hour, one time per week. Parent involvement in each session is encouraged as much of the session will include dialogue of specific therapy techniques and a suggested plan for at-home practice.
