Getting Started with Therapy

Generally, all therapy services for children of any age will begin with a screening or a more thorough evaluation process in order to determine the most appropriate next steps. However, there may be situations in which this is not necessary, such as when an evaluation has been recently completed by another speech-language pathologist as part of a school IEP process or hospital intake. 

These are the goals of a screening:
  • ​Is there a speech/language delay or disorder and if so, how severe?
  • What are the best next steps moving forward? We always talk about strategies to try at home, and we would also discuss whether therapy is warranted at this point, what goals might be and some of your other questions and concerns.
  • With screenings, you do not receive a formal report, although notes will be sent outlining the skills we discussed, strategies for home and next steps. 
  • Screenings are offered at the normal hourly rate.
  • If you wish to schedule a formal evaluation/assessment, receive a formal evaluation report with standardized test scores/percentiles, please contact Emily to discuss the evaluation process. Note that formal evaluations typically require 2-3 appointments and start at $550.
​
You may reserve an appointment for your child's speech/language screening or initial appointment at either the Holland or Grand Rapids office locations by contacting Emily.

Also feel free to reach out if you have additional questions, would like to schedule a home visit, or would like to discuss formal evaluations.

Holland office:

291 W. Lakewood Blvd, Holland, MI 49424

Grand rapids office:

2787 Wilson Ave NW, Grand Rapids, MI 49534
