Our goal is to pair each child with a therapist that best suits his or her needs and schedule. After the evaluation we can better determine which therapist your child will work best with. We provide a close working relationship between all the therapists at Speech Therapy Services, P.C.,  therefore offering coverage in the event that a therapist is out sick.
Can i bring my other children to the therapy sessions?
You can bring other children to the session but they must remain in the waiting room for the entire session. For safety reasons, we do not allow unsupervised children in the lobby.
