Our Services

 

Consultations

I offer a FREE 20 minute consultation to all prospective clients via phone call or Zoom. Parents will be asked to complete a case history form. The consultation will be a time for caregivers to ask questions, discuss concerns, and to determine if a more in-depth evaluation or therapy is warranted.

Evaluations

I conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine specific areas of need. Evaluations are typically comprised of one or more standardized assessments, a speech or language sample and observation(s). If an assessment has been completed by another agency, please submit it at your earliest convenience. Typically, we evaluate our clients bi-annually to measure progress and ensure that our plan of care meets your developing child’s needs.

Individual Therapy Sessions

Private therapy sessions vary in duration and frequency. Together, using information gathered through evaluation or observations we will determine length of sessions and how many times per week your child will be seen, based on individual needs and family preferences.

Group Therapy

Social Group Therapy sessions focus on targeting social and expressive language skills. Social groups are centered around shared interests and activities such as creating or building things, sports, board games, or preparing and sharing food. Social groups typically have a central theme (such as turn taking or asking questions) but may target a variety of individualized goals. Availability of these groups is based on interest and availability of other clients within a similar age range.

A Word on Insurance Coverage…

At this time, CDST’s services are only able to be reimbursed by insurance companies who cover out of network providers. A monthly Superbill is provided to clients whom request one, for reimbursement of services.

“It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them.”
