SERVICES

If you are unsure if your child needs an evaluation and/or therapy services, Johnson County Speech Language Therapy offers developmental screenings.  The screenings are a brief, informal assessment of skills to determine if your child is meeting age-based expectations and/or if additional evaluation of skills is needed.

These screenings include observation of your child, a short parent interview, and a quick assessment of skills.  During this time we will determine appropriate next steps for your child.

SCREENING      

Using a combination of parent interview, standardized testing, and informal assessment tools, we can determine your child’s strengths and areas of need.  Completion of the formal assessment protocol is between 30 minutes to 1-2 hours, based on testing that is required.  Approximately one week after testing, families will be provided with a comprehensive report, which includes a summary and analysis of findings.

If your child demonstrates a need for specialized instruction, we will work together to develop a plan for intervention.  This plan will include measurable goals that will guide our therapy moving forward.

Pricing for evaluations vary; please contact for more information.

EVALUATION

INDIVIDUALIZED THERAPY

Johnson County Speech Language Therapy provides individualized therapy sessions using a mixture of evidence-based therapy approaches.  These therapy approaches include play-based, clinician-directed, and literary-based therapies.  Session length and therapy frequency is individualized to each child and is based on the intensity of treatment required. 

Speech therapy addresses a variety of skills, such as:    

  • Production of specific speech sounds (articulation)

  • Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS)

  • Expressive language and vocabulary development

  • Following directions and understanding language

  • Speech fluency

  • Conversational skills

  • Play skills

  • Social language (pragmatics)

Therapy is most often provided in the home-setting, but can also occur in the community setting (such as your child’s daycare, preschool, or private school) or via teletherapy.

Therapy services can be provided in the home or community (such as your child’s daycare, preschool, or private school). We can also provide therapy for children who are in need of supplemental services, such as those who already receive services and have a current IFSP/IEP.

Pricing for therapy sessions vary; please contact for more information.

  • Parent consultations: These consultations are designed to assist parents in their everyday environment by teaching them how to best support their child’s communication and play during daily routines.  We can help provide parents with specific speech and language strategies, as well as demonstrate how your child’s current toys and books can be used in an educational way.

  • Birth-3 IFSP and School-Age IEP consultations: These consultations are designed to support families with understanding IFSP/IEP reports, as well as navigated services in general.  We can help by reviewing reports, attending meetings, and providing support as needed.
