Where are our services provided?
Our speech, language and parent coaching services are offered in person at our Ridgefield, Connecticut office, or virtually online from the comfort of your home.
How often do we come to therapy?
The frequency of speech services recommended can vary depending on your child's individual needs and goals. Children can be seen between once a week to multiple times a week. Frequency will be determined based on factors such as the severity, desired rate of progress and availability.
Do you offer speech screenings?
Yes, we offer speech screenings at local preschools and daycares in the community. These screenings are typically brief assessments to help identify any potential speech or language difficulties and determine if further evaluation or therapy is necessary.
