Parent consultations

Sometimes, parents or caregivers might have concerns about speech or language development, but aren’t certain if their child needs a full assessment and therapy. At CommuniKids, we offer consultations to help decide the next steps to support your child. Speech therapy consultations are done with one of our speech pathologists, and can cover areas including:

• Concerns about reaching communication milestones

• Understanding the speech therapy process

• Discussions on different treatment approaches (such as gestalt language or parent coaching)

During consultations, the speech pathologist will be able to provide advice as to the next steps, guide the parent or caregiver as to whether therapy is needed, and can give strategies to support continued language development. Parent consultations can be booked in person, via telehealth or over the phone.
