A 90-minute comprehensive evaluation of your child’s speech and language strengths and challenges using standardized and informal measures. An evaluation report will be provided along with a 6-month treatment plan if intervention is recommended.

For in-person services, we meet you and your child in the Sacramento community and surrounding areas (e.g., parks, playgrounds, libraries, daycares). Sessions consist of 30-45 minutes of 1:1 individualized speech and language therapy 1-2x/week depending on your child’s needs.
