Evaluations

Evaluations

Evaluations for Speech-Language & Assistive Technology 

Evaluations include utilization of standardized assessment tools, non-standardized assessment tools, parent and/or teacher interview, and clinical observations. These assessments will help our clinicians to determine the area(s) of concern that require treatment.

​

Evaluations are completed in one session and are time-dependent on the individual client and his/her needs. Once the results have been analyzed, a phone consultation will follow to discuss assessment findings and a written report will be provided. The clinician will provide his/her recommendations for therapy based on the client’s strengths and areas of need.

​

Had an evaluation completed recently?​

If the client has recently been evaluated (within the last year), all of the most recent evaluations must be provided. An initial consultation will be completed, where a clinician will review the documents and discuss his/her clinical impressions, as well as recommendations for therapy.

​

Taylor’d Consultations 

A consultation is appropriate for a child who has received a recent evaluation (e.g., via Private entity, NYS EI, CPSE, school). A 1-hour meeting will be held, where your child will be observed, previous reports/testing will be reviewed, your concerns will be addressed. Finally, a brief summary with clinical impressions and recommendations provided.

​

Mini - Taylor’d Evaluations 

Mini- evaluations are recommended if your concerns are specific to one to two domains of speech or language (e.g., articulation, expressive language, fluency). This will help the clinician to produce new/updated speech/language report with goals. It includes up to a one-hour evaluation, where we meet you and your child, administer assessments, review previous reports/testing (as needed). A report will be provided that includes: clinical impressions, recommendations, and speech language goals (if needed). Prices will vary.

​

Full - Taylor’d Evaluations 

Full evaluations are recommended if you are unsure of the exact area of concern or your concerns involve more than one area of speech/language: expressive language (vocabulary, grammar, social use), listening skills, pre-literacy, literacy, social and play skills, stuttering, voice, and feeding development. This is recommended for those who have never been evaluated or have not had a recent evaluation completed within 1 year.

​

Full-Evaluations can take up to 1 - 2.5 hours, depending on the focus of attention, participation, and cooperation of the child. Breaks are given as needed.

​

An extensive report will be provided that includes clinical impressions, recommendations, and goals.

​

Bilingual Evaluations 

Bilingual evaluations are essential for individuals who are exposed to multiple languages at home or in their learning environments. These evaluations are designed to accurately assess a child's speech and language skills in both their native and second languages, ensuring that any concerns are correctly identified and addressed. Our bilingual evaluations allow us to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate services that support the individual's overall communication development. Languages offered: Spanish, French, Arabic.

​

These evaluations can take up to 1.5 - 2.5 hours, depending on the focus of attention, participation, and cooperation of the individual. Breaks are given as needed.

​

An extensive report will be provided that includes clinical impressions, recommendations, and goals.​

Treatment

Treatment

At Taylor'd Speech & Language Services, we provide comprehensive speech therapy across the lifespan, supporting both children and adults in their communication journey. For children, we address a range of diagnoses including apraxia, articulation disorders, language disorders, social communication challenges, and literacy development. For adults, we offer specialized therapy for conditions such as aphasia, dysarthria, voice disorders, and cognitive-communication impairments. Our goal is to tailor each therapy plan to the individual's needs, ensuring effective and meaningful progress at every stage of life.

​

​​Our therapists provide individual and group therapy sessions treating children with a variety of abilities. We believe in a collaborative model, and encourage caregives to engage in sessions in order to maximize carryover opportunities during daily routines and interactions. Holistic, developmental, child-centered and play-based therapy approaches are used to create a fun and positive atmosphere for clients to learn and grow.

​​​​

Treatment:

After reviewing evaluations/reports, the speech-language pathologist will provide their clinical opinion and suggest a mandate (time & frequency per week), based on each individual client’s abilities and treatment goals.  Sessions can range from 30, 45, or 60 minute sessions.

Tele-practice

Telepractice

Taylor’d Speech provides online speech-language tele-therapy services from the convenience of your home using your computer/smart device!​​

Who can benefit from telepractice services?

Online speech-language therapy services are most appropriate for school-age children or adults who have wider attention spans that allow them to focus on the session, as well as those clients who do not require ‘hands-on’ physical cueing. Tele-therapy can work with children ages 2 to 5 years with hands-on assistance from caregivers. Clients will be screened before treatment to ensure that the client is an appropriate candidate for online speech language therapy services.

 

What equipment is required to access telepractice services?

All you’ll need is a computer with high speed internet connection, a webcam, audio out-put and microphone (typically built-in to your computer). The following software can be used to engage in tele-practice services: Google+ Hangout/Meet or Zoom.

 

How to schedule your tele-practice services?

Sessions are scheduled with your clinician, at a convenient time of the day that is suitable for both parties. Client and clinician log into the virtual software (Google+ Hangout) during the predetermined time. The session lengths are dependent of the client and his/her needs and treatment goals (i.e., 30, 45, or 60 minutes long). Sessions are scheduled at least 24-48 hours in advance. Sessions for younger children can be provided in increments (i.e., 1 - 30 min session can be made into 2 - 15 minute sessions).
