What will happen in speech therapy sessions

Speech Therapy

Speech therapy sessions:

The speech therapist that works with your child will use equipment and activities designed to address your child’s particular needs. Each child has a behavior plan that lists the long term goal(s) of therapy and the short-term objectives. 

These goals and objectives will be addressed in every therapy meeting. The speech therapist will use developmentally-appropriate toys, games, and activities because we consider that children learn best when they are dynamically involved and enjoying themselves. 

Our Speech therapy equipment is colorful and attractive to children. Some children are not happy with the parent out of view, while others perform and do best when the parent is not present. 

In any case, parents are always welcome to watch their child’s therapy sessions. At the end of the session, the therapist will generally spend 3 to 5 minutes sharing information with the parent about which objectives were addressed and what development was made. 

Occasionally homework is provided. Often, the speech therapist makes suggestions for how the parent can help out the child at home.
