How is therapy at TALK different than therapy offered at school?
At TALK, we require clients to attend individual sessions a minimum of twice a week, as research has shown that to make progress, children need repetition. Our therapy is geared toward improving a child’s speech, language, and communication across settings (See Our Approach). School therapy needs to be based on your child’s educational needs. It is also necessary to qualify for those services. Due to time constraints in the schools, sessions tend to be much shorter in your child’s school-based programs. Therapists may not be able to provide the intensity and the frequency that is needed. We emphasize contact with your child’s school therapist for consistency in treatment and sharing of information from setting to setting.
