How do we get started?

The first step is a free phone consultation, which you can schedule by emailing thespotwithmskellie@gmail.com. If an assessment is recommended, we will schedule a formal evaluation. Therapy sessions would be discussed following the evaluation. 

4

My child says most of their sounds correctly, won't these correct over time?

Each child develops differently. Children should be fully intelligible to familiar and unfamiliar listeners by 4-years-old. If they are not intelligible, then a screening is recommended. Additionally, current research suggests children should accurately produce most sounds by first grade. If this is not the case, a screening is recommended to determine next steps.

5

My child is meeting their milestones just past the typical age. SHOULD I BE WORRIED?

If you or your pediatrician suspect your child is behind, a screening or evaluation could provide more information to determine next steps. A child may have some skills that are age appropraite while others are atypically behind. It is best to support the development of these skills earlier before a gap occurs.

6

HOW LONG WILL MY CHILD NEED SPEECH THERAPY?

If only we had the answer! Generally, the timeline depends on the child and their needs. There are many variables including the type and severity of the disorder, the child's engagement in therapy, and skill retention. The length of time will be better understood within the first 6 months of treatment.
