Speech therapy is most effective when there is carryover between home and clinic. At Desert Blossom, our mission is to include parents as an important part of their children's success.

We base our session length on the needs and attention spans of our clients. In a typical 45 minute therapy block, time is included for parents to practice the techniques themselves, discuss strategies to use at home, and ask questions.

Initial Consultation: At the initial appointment, we will review your child’s history and your concerns. This may involve reviewing paperwork from your child’s school, pediatrician, or private therapists. Or, if this is your first stop, we will discuss your child’s development and needs and we may choose to conduct a brief screening to determine whether a full evaluation is necessary.
Evaluation: A speech-language evaluation is necessary before services can begin. Referrals from teachers or doctors are a great starting point, but don’t provide enough information to determine your child’s specific needs. I can provide a full evaluation if you do not already have a current one in place from your school district or a private provider. Evaluations generally take 1-2 hours, so this will be scheduled at a separate appointment.
