Frequently Asked Questions

How long is a session?

Therapy sessions are individually tailored to your child’s needs.  Your child’s speech therapy programming will be recommended based on evaluation results and therapy objectives.

Where can therapy occur?

Sprouting Speech Lake Country strongly believes that therapy should occur in your child’s natural environment.  Therapy conducted in a natural environment promotes carryover of skills learned in therapy into their daily lives.  A natural environment could be in your home, community location, daycare / preschool or online via Teletherapy.

When are services provided?

Sprouting Speech Lake Country will provide therapy services Monday through Friday from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm September through May.  June through August, services will be provided from 7:30am to 3:00pm Monday through Friday.

When is an evaluation necessary?

If your child has never had their speech and language evaluated, this is a necessity prior to receiving speech therapy services.  If your child has had a formal speech and language evaluation completed within the last 6 months, and you are able to provide a report of the evaluation, additional testing may not be necessary.

What is the cost of an individual speech and language evaluation?

60 minute speech and language evaluation by Sprouting Speech is $250.00.  This cost includes formal evaluation of your child, scoring, interpretation of test scores and a formal report outlining results and recommendations. Also included in the cost is a 10 minute parent conference to discuss evaluation results and recommendations. 

What is the cost of a therapy session?

30 minute therapy session = $60.00 

(25 minutes of direct therapy with your child and 5-10 minutes of home program, parent communication for carryover and session documentation)

45 minute therapy session = $75.00 

(40 minutes of direct therapy with your child and 5 minutes of home program, parent communication for carryover and session documentation)
