When we become involved with you and your child, we will usually want to spend some time getting to know your child’s strengths and needs. After this, services can include: giving you suggestions and materials to help your child develop better communication skills; working directly with your child, alone or in a small group with other children; or visiting your child’s preschool or daycare.  Children who seem to be progressing, but are considered “at risk” for communication difficulties, are often seen for check-ups every few months. We also offer some parent training programs.

Depending on your child’s needs, your schedule, and other programs involved, we can work with your child here at NONA, at your home or childcare setting. We can also work together with other professionals at NONA. We aim to work together with families as much as possible, and we strongly encourage you to be involved in your child’s program. The more involved you can be, the better your child’s progress will be. It is also important to realize that learning communication skills is a process that takes time, so your child may need to be involved with our services for several months or longer.

The SLP program is in great demand, so we have a waiting list for regular therapy that is over a year long. However, we try to do an initial consultation within a month of receiving a referral, and check-up appointments every few months after that.
