frequently asked questions

How long are the sessions?

Does my child need an evaluation before starting services?

What should i bring to my childs evaluation?

Here at SCSS we believe in a collaborative approach meaning your child will have their main treating therapist but may be seen by other therapists if they are receiving more than one service and or receiving treatment more than once a week. This allows for increased collaboration to determine the best possible treatment plan and approaches for treating your child. This also allows for increased opportunities for makeup sessions when needed. Here at SCSS we are a team and we believe that by working together we can provided unparalleled services to you and your child. 

Our office will attempt to contact you to confirm your evaluation the week of your appointment. If you fail to show the date of your appointment without calling to cancel/reschedule, a $25 fee will be required prior to rescheduling your child's evaluation. 

Company Sick Policy

Private pay rates

If your child has received a speech-language evaluation within the last 5 months, a reassessment is not necessary if you are able to provide a complete copy of the assessment and any progress summaries completed since the initial evaluation. If it has been greater than 6 months or your child has never had an assessment completed, a comprehensive evaluation is required before services can begin.  


If you are concerned about your child's feeding/swallowing and they are under a year old, a reassessment may be necessary sooner than 6 months to determine an appropriate plan of treatment. Please provide your most recent assessment and a clinician will review the document along with your current concerns regarding your child's feeling to determine if an updated assessment is required.
