Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE)
Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE)
Did you know that if you do not agree with your school's assessment or accommodations for your child or would like a second opinion, you have the right, as a parent, to request an independent evaluation from a qualified speech-language pathologist at the public's expense?
We help you or your district with a timely and affordable comprehensive speech/language evaluation. Reach out to us for a personalized quote today!
We can provide virtual, in-person, or a combination of both for residents of Southern, CA.
Teletherapy
Teletherapy
Did you know that the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) says Teletherapy (virtual speech therapy) is often just as effective as in-person speech therapy with the added benefit of reducing caregiver's stress? High client satisfaction is a driving force in the move to virtual speech therapy service delivery.
We provide intensive 1:1 or group speech therapy online for children or adults who have communication needs including help for those with difficulties speaking clearly (articulation), using words to communicate (expressive language), understanding (receptive language), or socializing with peers (pragmatics).
We can also meet with you in your home or a public day office/school.

It is rewarding yet difficult being a parent. Having a child with special needs can be even more challenging.
Navigating your way through a system of supports can be difficult without guidance from a professional who understands and has worked in that system.
We're here for you from the moment you first hear your child's diagnosis to your child's first IEP meeting, to the day your child graduates from high school to enter the real world and beyond. Reach out to us for a personalized quote today!
