What should I expect in a session?
Please see our What to Expect section under services. This section explains how sessions work and what you can expect!
How long does therapy take?
This depends on both the extent of the disorder and how much work family is able to do with the child at home. For example, a child who is not able to say the “R” sound and is coming to speech therapy every week, as well as working at home with a helper for a few minutes every day may be finished with therapy in 4-6 months. A child who is not yet talking at 5 years of age and who does not have a way to communicate with others may need speech therapy for many years.
