Frequently Asked Questions

Is speech-language therapy only for children?

Speech-language therapy is available for both children and adults. The type of service that is given depends on each client’s individual needs and all our therapy plans are tailored made to target each specific area of language.

How often will therapy be needed?

It is recommended starting therapy 1-2 times a week for 30 minute sessions and gradually reduce the number of days a week that therapy is provided. Remember, there is no set in stone answer. During your consultation, you will have the opportunity to create an individualized plan that can change as time moves on. 

How long will therapy take?

Just how each therapy session is tailored to every person’s individual needs, the same goes for the duration of your course of therapy. Depending on the areas of deficits and the type of services that are required, therapy can last from a few weeks, months, or even a year. During the consultation, we will work together to establish a therapy plan that is individualized for the needs of the client. We strive to slowly reduce the need for services as independence and generalization of skills are increased. We love seeing our client graduate and want to make sure we are always working towards that.
