We offer a free consultation to discuss any concerns you may have regarding your child’s communication development. We are also happy to answer any questions you may have regarding speech therapy and our treatment techniques. We look forward to hearing from you and embarking on this journey together!

Following our free consultation, an evaluation may be recommended. Evaluations are used to establish your child’s communication baseline, strengths and weaknesses. Following an evaluation, a comprehensive evaluation report will be provided to each family. If therapy is recommended, goals will be made in collaboration with caregivers and treatment will be initiated.

Therapy sessions consist of evidence-based strategies to improve your child’s communication and/or feeding skills. We keep these sessions fun and engaging by incorporating play into our treatment. We have found that keeping play at the heart of each session enhances a child’s participation and progress. Another key element to Magnolia Therapy Team sessions is caregiver involvement. By including caregivers in our sessions, carryover for each learned skill increases across all settings.
