Therapies

Individual Therapy

30-, 45-, and 60-minute sessions tailored to each person’s needs and learning style and designed to most rapidly progress through goals.

Group Therapy

30- or 45-minute sessions for children who are working on similar sounds and goals and who would benefit from peer practice or are doing well in a more structured setting and have yet to generalize their speech to more spontaneous and conversational environments.

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy

30-and 45-minute sessions for children and adults who need to improve the proper placement and function of the tongue and facial muscles used at rest and for swallowing. OMT is used to improve nasal breathing, correct tongue thrust swallowing patterns, improve speech clarity.

Social Skills Group

    Diagnostics

    Consultations

    Speech Consultations: 35-to-45-minute informal meeting with child and parent to determine how a child is developing the sounds and communication of their primary language(es) and assess the need for further evaluation of skills and/or therapy. Recommendations and referrals are made if necessary.

    Social Skills Consultations: 30-minute informal meeting with child and parent to determine the appropriateness of a social skills group and which group at Speachy would be the best fit for the needs of the client.

    Orofacial Myofunctional Consultation: 30-to 45-minute meeting to evaluate the anatomy and physiology (structure and movement) of the face and tongue. Inspection of labial and lingual frenula is done to check for tongue and lip ties. Breathing, swallowing, and speech are also screened.

    Please note: There is no written report or note produced from consultations. Any request for written documentation is charged a separate fee-please refer to the fees page for more information.

    Evaluation / Assessment

    Speachy Learning Center offers a variety of formal, comprehensive, and detailed workups of one or more areas of communication including:
    • Articulation and Phonological Development
    • Comprehensive evaluation for articulation, receptive and expressive language, fluency, voice, and oral-motor skills.
    • Social pragmatics and social-behavioral skills
