Our intensive programs are based on evidence-based practices for communication support needs.
During the initial appointment, you can expect:
- Goal Setting: The speech pathologist will discuss your goals for the intensive
- Baseline Measurement: Activities to measure your child’s progress, such as voice recordings, surveys, or questionnaires
Throughout the program:
- Learning and Practice: The speech pathologist will work with you to learn and practice strategies through various activities, tailored to your goals
- Intensive Sessions: Appointments will be fast-paced
- Progress Review: At the end of the intensive, your child’s progress will be reassessed with similar activities
Caregivers should be prepared to actively participate in all appointments and be taught strategies to continue working towards goals at home.
