Screenings
Brief screenings conducted by Kathryn Barnett are available. If you are unsure that your child needs speech services, a screening may be a great way to see if further testing is necessary. Screenings may take 10-15 minutes. Following the screening, Kathryn will review the results with you and any recommendations will be given. If the screening reveals that further testing is needed, the cost of the screening will be deducted from the cost of the evaluation.
Speech/Language Evaluations
A comprehensive speech and language evaluation will be conducted in your home. Kathryn will use standardized assessments, along with speech samples and a parent report to get an accurate picture of your child's speech and language skills. A detailed report will be provided following the evaluation, along with a consultation to go over the assessment.
Speech Therapy
Kathryn will provide treatment sessions tailored to your child's needs and interests. Researched backed therapy approaches and techniques will be used. Kathryn will be in constant contact with the child's caregivers and provide strategies and/or homework to help facilitate generalization of newly learned skills.
Consultation
30 minute phone and in-person consultations are available. Kathryn will answer any questions caregivers may have regarding your child's speech and language skills.
