Our speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are trained and prepared to work with a variety of pediatric clients. We understand the importance of building foundational skills which will be vital for your child’s future growth. Our approach relies on evidence-based treatment which is based on clinical expertise, research, and client background.
Social competence is a necessary component of a child's development and involves abilities like joint attention, eye contact, conversational reciprocity, and topic maintenance. Play is the groundwork that provides a basis for a child to build various skills. We address these domains to help your child adapt to his environment and interact with peers.
Receptive language can be defined as the ability to comprehend and process language. Some of the skills that we focus on include expanding receptive vocabulary, following directions, and understanding basic concepts.
Expressive communication is the ability to convey a message to a speaking partner(s). We work with your child and family to target goals like functional communication, expressive vocabulary, and answering questions.
Speech skills can be described as the ability to produce and combine sounds. Our program addresses speech sound disorders and delays related to factors such as perception, motor production, or phonological representations that impact a child's intelligibility.
Problems in the areas of feeding include weaknesses with chewing, cup drinking, straw drinking, and spoon-feeding. We collaborate with families and a team of professionals to improve your child's feeding skills.
Fluency issues are marked by difficulties with using words, phrases, and sentences without any disruptions during speech output. Our treatment approach can ameliorate these deficits through the implementation of fluency enhancing techniques and other environmental modifications.
A voice disorder may be present when a child uses an atypical voice quality, pitch, and loudness that affects daily functioning. Our SLPs can gradually help your child use his voice in appropriate ways.
Our approach to providing speech therapy is uniquely designed to fit the needs, proclivities, and disposition of each child based on a Plan of Care (POC). The POC delineates the goals and objectives according to the child’s needs.
One of the members of our onboarding team will reach out to you to collect information and documentation required for speech intervention. Availability for speech therapy will also be requested.
The next step is scheduling the initial speech evaluation which will be performed by the Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP). This will include parent interview, in-person observation, and any other assessment deemed necessary by the Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP).
Once the initial speech assessment is completed, the Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) will create a Plan of Care (POC) to address your child’s needs. Once completed, SLP will send the plan to you for review. Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) will also require you to have the plan signed by your child’s Primary Care Physician (PCP).
Documents received during the initial intake along with the Plan of Care (POC) will be submitted to insurance to request for authorization. Once approved, speech services will commence.
Speech services will be delivered by the Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) based on the Plan of Care (POC). Schedule of services will be based on the availability provided during the intake process matched with the availability of Mindful Sprouts' speech therapists.
A re-evaluation will be conducted by the Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) every three (3) or six (6) months, whichever is applicable based on authorization provided by insurance, to determine whether or not the child needs to continue treatment.
