Question 5

How do I get started with speech therapy?

Accepted Answer

Here's how to get started:

• Call, email, or use our contact form to schedule a free phone or tele-consultation to test equipment, internet connection, and software.

• During the initial consultation, we will go over your questions and decide if my experience matches your needs.

• If you would like to proceed, I will send you a link to fill out the intake documents.

• We will schedule an evaluation to determine exact needs and set up goals.

• If treatment is warranted based on the evaluation results, we will discuss recommended treatment frequency and schedule appointments.

Question 6

Does my child need an evaluation before starting therapy?

Accepted Answer

Depending on assessments administered, your child may not need an evaluation if they have had a speech language evaluation within the past 6 months or has a current IEP. You can send the documents via email to jenna@achievespeechtherapy.com

Question 7

How long/frequent are therapy sessions?

Accepted Answer

Therapy sessions are 30-60 minutes long. I typically recommend 1-3 sessions per week.

Question 8

How do you provide teletherapy?

Accepted Answer

I use HIPAA compliant, secure web based programs for the implementation of all services and payment submissions. You can access your virtual speech therapy room via browser or app.

I work directly with parent/caregiver, with the client, or a combination approach, depending on client age and need. Sessions are most successful when the parent/caregiver is present to assist in troubleshooting, redirect attention as needed, and provide additional prompting. This collaboration allows parents/caregivers to become more involved in the client's communication development and increases their confidence in supporting the client's goals throughout the week. I truly believe a team approach increases skill accuracy and accelerates treatment.

Question 9

What technical requirements do I need to start teletherapy?

Accepted Answer

You will need access to a strong internet connection. Bandwidths of 1Mbs download and 0.5Mbs upload are fairly standard requirements for video conferencing speeds (you can test your connection at www.speedtest.net)(http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.speedtest.net&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNFaau-nnjBj0wbUoo093kRUmKQZuA).

You will also need access to a built in or external webcam and microphone or headset.

You may use your desktop or laptop computer or an iPad/Tablet (however, some teletherapy features may not be supported on iPads/Tablets).
