How It All Works

  • Begin with a friendly conversation to share your child’s needs and ask questions. We’ll listen, explain your options, and help you decide whether an evaluation is the next best step. No pressure, just guidance and support.

  • A licensed therapist will meet with your child to assess their individual communication skills, whether in speech, language, or pragmatics. Through engaging and neuroaffirming interactions, we’ll identify strengths, challenges, and goals, then create a personalized therapy plan to help your child grow with confidence.

  • We’ll match your family with a compassionate therapist who fits your child’s needs and schedule. Sessions take place in your home or community, focusing on real-life routines and meaningful interactions that support lasting progress beyond the session.

  • As therapy continues, you’ll see your child’s confidence and communication skills grow. We’ll keep you updated, celebrate every success together, and adjust goals as your child develops new strengths.
