Service Description

A report outlining specific errors your child is making of the sounds in isolation, in words and/or in connected speech is included, as well as recommendations for the types of therapy approaches most effective in treating the sound errors, frequency of these sesions and tips for home. This service includes a 60-minute assessment session with your child and a 60-minute report writing timeslot.
