Speech therapy from the comfort of home.

After reviewing the results of your child’s evaluation. We will begin with child-led therapy, adult-led therapy or a combination of both.
Child-led therapy follows a child’s natural interest. In this model, parent and speech therapist work together to add and request language.Adult-led therapy is what many people think about when they think of speech therapy. This includes drills and structured tasks for the most attempts at a task.
A combination of child- and adult-led looks like choosing strategic toys to create communication opportunities. This looks like choosing farm animal toys to work on speech sounds, a stuffed animal to work on actions, a book to work on vocabulary.
For their success, we ask parents to sit side-by-side your child during the first 1-5 sessions supporting their use of technology. After your child is comfortable, we ask parents to stay within the same room and within listening distance.

Lidcombe is a unique program for children six years and younger who stutter. It is statistically proven to alleviate dysfluencies at a greater rate than spontaneous recovery.
The first phase of the program is weekly visits with parent education. Parents monitor their child's dysfluencies each day using a 0-10 scale. At the following session, parent(s) review the week with their speech pathologist and work together for the treatment session.
The second phase of treatment is to facilitate carryover or generalization. Sessions last 30 minutes and are used to review the parent's measures. In the reminder of the session, if your child is consistent with the parent measures, they continue and/or progress to less frequent visits.
Direct intervention with the speech pathologist is gradually reduced from weekly visits to bi-weekly then monthly check-ins.
Your child may go forward or backwards during the course of the program. The Lidcombe program is a significant time commitment and can take a year to complete.
