SchoolAge Children

Your child may benefit from private speech and language therapy if:

• He or she does not qualify for school-based speech therapy because his/her disorder does not affect her academically
• You have on-going concerns regarding your child’s articulation, use of language, comprehension of language, social skills, voice, or fluency.
• He or she performs better in a one-on-one setting with fewer distractions
• He or she doesn’t receive services over long breaks, such as summer break or winter break.
• You see a regression in skills and goals during long school breaks.
• You would like to be more involved in the therapy sessions so you can implement the learned skills and cues at home.
• You would like your child to receive more frequent or more prolonged therapy sessions.
• Your child’s speech-language disorder would benefit from a specialized therapy technique that is provided only by specially-trained SLPs
