What happens in speech therapy?
At Open Lines, we recognize that every child’s learning and development is unique. For this reason, every program begins with a comprehensive, individualized evaluation of your child’s speech and language with a licensed SLP. These tests help your SLP understand your child’s strengths, determine whether your child’s language skills are age-appropriate, and examine their areas of need. We then work with you to customize a plan of action including setting goals for your child, designing a plan of action, and answering your questions about your child’s specific challenges.
During sessions, your SLP will customize exercises and activities including drill-based exercises, games, and activities that simulate everyday experiences in ways that are fun and motivating for children and tailored to address your child’s specific needs. We also prioritize providing parents and other caregivers with the education, materials, and techniques needed to participate in the treatment process in order to continue practice at home and help see those goals achieved as quickly as possible.
