Our Services
A 15-minute complimentary phone consultation is available to discuss the concerns and needs prior to an evaluation. At this time, The Listening SLP, LLC is private pay only and is considered an out-of-network provider. You can contact your insurance company directly to see if they cover out-of-network assessment and/or treatment for speech-language therapy/teletherapy. We are an approved, direct pay provider for North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority Grants (NCSEAA) through the Education Savings Account and Disabilities Grant. That means no out-of-pocket expenses.
Evaluations
A thorough speech and language evaluation is completed to gain a comprehensive understanding of each client's communication abilities, strengths, and challenges. We will look at language comprehension, expressive language, and speech production. The evaluation process includes observation, interviews with clients and/or caregivers, input from other professionals on the team, as well as standardized assessments. We also use functional measures to understand how an individual performs within their daily environment. We use the information from the evaluation process to identify what areas of support our clients will benefit from.
Therapy
Our therapy approach is holistic and centers around the client's values. Clients are a part of the process from start to finish - beginning by collaborating to identify your goals to guiding you as you transition away from services. We pride ourselves on ensuring that clients are well-informed during the therapeutic process. Every new strategy and technique we bring to therapy is explained and discussed with our clients and families. We believe clients find increased motivation and make better progress when they understand the "why" behind what we are working on in therapy.
