If your child is behind on speech or language milestones, an SLP can help. Therapy supports expressive and receptive language, helping kids understand and use words effectively.
Helping kids find their voice—at home, with care covered by insurance.
Learn about the process of pediatric speech therapy, from initial evaluation to ongoing care and therapy sessions.
This is a time for your SLP to meet your child and assess any issues they may be having. You should be present the whole time and can give information regarding medical history, milestones, difficulties, etc.
Depending on age, your speech-language pathologist may play games with your child to help get them to engage. Play is a great tool for pediatric speech therapists because it helps make the evaluation and follow-up sessions fun, while the games will also help your specialist evaluate for any delays, disorders, or other issues.
During the evaluation remember that you are encouraged to be present and ask questions! We highly encourage parents to be involved in the process as that typically leads to better outcomes.
After the evaluation your SLP will discuss their findings with you and propose a treatment plan. This will often include recommended goals, session frequency, duration of treatment, and even referrals for other treatment if speech therapy won't address the concerns highlighted.
Your Coral Care SLP will work with you to schedule regular at-home sessions depending on your availability. At-home treatments tend to work best for both the patient and provider and can fit seamlessly into your day.
The actual session activities will vary depending on your child's age and specific needs. For younger children the sessions may include games and exercises that include "guess who", games based on sounds and specific letters, singing and rhyming activities, storytelling, and many more tools that your specific speech therapist may employ.
Your speech therapist will also probably give you exercises you can do with your child to help encourage more practice and improvement! It can take some time to see progress, however if you stay consistent with your sessions and regularly do at-home exercises with your child, you will see improvements in your child's communication skills.
