What To Expect
Evaluations
An evaluation will be conducted at our clinic located in Minot, ND to determine your child’s communication strengths and needs. We use a variety of formal and informal assessment tools to obtain a comprehensive picture of your child’s speech and language skills. Together, we will create an individualized treatment plan with goals specific to your child’s needs. We will discuss the results of the evaluation and make recommendations for you and your child. Goals and treatment plans are specific and measurable so that your child’s progress can be tracked. Family involvement and communication is highly important to us.
Therapy
Speech and language therapy will address the skills identified through your child’s evaluation. Children typically receive speech and language therapy one to three times per week. Each therapy session is designed for 30-45 minutes, as appropriate for the child and their family. We recommend the parents/guardians remain in the room during therapy as family involvement is crucial for your child’s long term success. Parents/guardians will receive regular communication with their child’s therapist regarding daily activities and progress towards their goals.
