Evaluation
Your child will be scheduled for either an evaluation, if needed. Following the evaluation, you’ll receive feedback about your child’s strengths and areas needing support, a detailed evaluation report, and an individualized treatment plan.

XX something here?
Speech Sound Disorders:
Speech sound development, pronunciation, and clarity
A speech sound disorder is an umbrella term that indicates difficulty producing speech sounds correctly for your child’s age. If your child experiences difficulty with any of the following, please reach out to determine if a speech evaluation is warranted:
difficulty producing sounds such as “wed” for red or “tup” for cup
difficulty being understood by communication partners
frustration when communicating with others
Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS):
CAS is a relatively rare, motor speech disorder that affects how the brain plans the movements needed for speech. Children know what they want to say, but have difficulty coordinating the muscle movements to say it.
Effective treatment for CAS requires specialized, evidence-based therapy from an experienced speech-language pathologist. Abby has advanced training in identifying and treating CAS. She is trained in PROMPT (Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets) and other evidence-based treatment approaches designed specifically for children with CAS.
If you have concerns about CAS, if your child has previously been diagnosed, or you’re seeking an SLP with expertise, please reach out.
Expressive-Receptive Language Delays:
Use and understanding of language
A language disorder is an umbrella term that refers to difficulty with learning, comprehending, and using language. If your child experiences difficulty with any of the following, please reach out to determine if a language evaluation is warranted:
comprehension of vocabulary, questions, directions, or stories
talking/sharing ideas
producing complex sentences or ideas
vocabulary development
AAC:
Alternative and Augmentative Communication
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) can help children improve and expand both expressive and receptive language skills. AAC does NOT prevent or delay spoken language. I help families explore different communication options and guide them through the process of obtaining a high-tech speech-generating device if appropriate. Both speaking and non-speaking children can benefit from AAC, and I support you every step of the way using a neurodiverse-affirming approach.
