FAQs

What does a speech therapy session look like?

For children who are “late talkers” or have an expressive language delay, sessions are play- based and child-led. Evidence based language strategies are implemented through play to encourage communication.

For children with a speech sound disorder, sessions are focused on targeted speech practice to work on specific speech sounds while we keep it fun and engaging for the child.

Family will be given “homework” to practice between visits to help aid in the child’s progress in therapy.

Where are sessions held?

Speech therapy sessions are done at the Talking Bear Speech office located at 740 Pilgrim Parkway Suite 100 Elm Grove, WI 53122.

Can parents be involved?

Absolutely! I encourage parents to be involved in sessions and to ask any questions they may have about what the therapist is doing.

How long are evaluations/therapy sessions?

Depending on the needs of the child, evaluations are typically 1-1.5 hours. The length of treatment sessions depends on the needs of the child and what the child tolerates. Sessions vary from 30-45 minutes.

When can I schedule a session?

Sessions are held Monday-Friday.
