Recommendations may incorporate a treatment plan and home program. Review of the report with parent is also included. An evaluation may extend to two separate sessions depending on the nature of the difficulties for your child. Feeding Evaluation - A feeding evaluation incorporates a review of previous records, patient history, feeding trials, and a written report with interpretation of observation, results, and recommendations. Recommendations may incorporate a treatment plan and home program. Review of the report with the caregiver is also included. During a feeding evaluation, further speech and language assessment may be recommended if determined necessary. Individual Therapy - A therapist will meet with your child a specified number of times a week for 30-45 minutes to implement their treatment plan, based on evaluation recommendations. Therapists will consult with you after each session to report progress during the session, describe any challenges encountered, and provide suggestions as part of their home program and family education. Caregivers are encouraged to ask questions so that they can remain partners in fulfilling their child's communicative goals. Individual therapy incorporates the use of individualized, evidence-based methods and strategies to facilitate attainment of long term and short term goals. Home programs and strategies are utilized as part of the treatment plan to assist in stabilizing and generalizing skills. Screenings - A screening is an informal observation to help determine if a more comprehensive evaluation is necessary. Screenings typically last 15 minutes and involve an observation and a brief parent interview with recommendations. There are no written reports following a screening. Screenings can be scheduled individually or for childcare or daycare facilities.
