Frequency and duration of your child's speech/language therapy sessions
will be based on their individual speech and language needs.
​
Typically, children show growth towards their goals in 1- or 2-30 to 60 minute sessions a week, though prior to starting, we will discuss what is most appropriate for your child, budget, and schedule. Please note, this will constantly be evaluated to determine if more/less services are warranted.
