Our Speech-Language Therapy Services

Speech & Language Screenings

A speech and language screening or articulation screening is a quick and effective way to determine if a child’s skills are on par with other children their age or if a more in-depth evaluation is needed. Elise can provide screenings in schools or in her office for parents who are concerned that their children may need Speech Therapy.

Evaluations

A speech and language evaluation or motor speech evaluation is a comprehensive way to assess a child’s skills. All evaluations include a brief meeting with parents prior to the assessment, meeting and working with the child, and a follow up meeting to review results with recommendations for services if deemed appropriate. Fees are determined based upon the nature of the assessment. Elise also provides myofunctional evaluations to assess oral motor development, feeding skills, and airway health.  Referrals or consultation with other health professionals are provided as needed.  Contact Elise with inquiries. 

Individual or Group Therapy

Elise provides both one on one sessions or small group sessions based on the nature of the disorder and the individual needs of a child. Sessions can be provided at schools (if requested by a school district) or in her office in Sag Harbor.

Feeding Therapy

Does your child have difficulty chewing or swallowing? Is your child’s food inventory limited to a few foods? Approximately 25% of typically developing children never grow out of their picky eating habits. Elise is an SOS trained therapist and will develop a feeding plan with strategies to help your child improve their food repertoire and eating skills, and make mealtime less stressful.

Myofunctional Therapy

Myofunctional therapy is a program used to correct the improper function of the tongue and facial muscles used at rest, for chewing and for swallowing.  It helps to improve airway health and promote nasal breathing.
