Speech Therapy Services
Learn more below about our evaluations, speech and language therapy, and parent coaching.
Evaluations
In order to learn about your child’s current communication abilities, we will begin with a full evaluation. This evaluation typically includes:
Parent or caregiver interview
Observation
Language sample
Formal assessments
Once the evaluation is complete, we will write up a formal evaluation report which includes therapy goals and recommendations. We will review the results with your family to develop a plan for therapy based on their areas of need.
Speech and Language Therapy
Our speech therapy sessions are designed to incorporate targeting your child’s goals while making it fun! We embed therapeutic supports into their favorite activities or games so the learning is motivating! Our sessions include toys, books, games, songs, and other child-led activities to promote engagement and learning. Speech therapy can help your child:
Use age-appropriate speech sounds
Speak more clearly so others can understand them
Increase vocabulary
Increase length of utterances
Understand what is being said to them
Improve self-confidence and decrease frustration
Parent Coaching
We believe that parent coaching is foundational to child success. At Homefront Speech Therapy, we provide ongoing guidance to parents and caregivers in terms of progress monitoring, beneficial strategies, and carryover activities to help support the child outside of scheduled speech therapy sessions. A child is successful when there is consistency across settings and people. Homefront Speech Therapy’s mission is to provide exceptional service to families and to reinforce the family as the child’s support system for life. This may include:
Ways to facilitate communication without prompting
How to embed modeled language throughout normal home routines
Ideas to practice specific sounds at home in a low pressure environment
Ways to increase the amount of expressive language with materials already available at home
