Comprehensive Speech & Language Evaluations
Speech Point provides comprehensive speech and language evaluations for children with autism, speech delays, childhood apraxia of speech, AAC needs, and complex language disorders.
Evaluations assess speech sound production, motor speech skills, receptive and expressive language, pragmatic language, and functional communication. When appropriate, AAC use and learning readiness are also examined.
Each evaluation is conducted using standardized and informal assessment tools, clinical observation, and parent input to develop a thorough understanding of the child’s communication profile. Every evaluation includes a detailed, comprehensive written report outlining findings, clinical interpretation, and individualized recommendations.
Reports may be used to support therapy planning, school services, and outside referrals when appropriate.

All new clients are offered a free initial consultation prior to scheduling an evaluation. This allows our team to get to know the child, understand parent concerns, and determine the most appropriate type of assessment.

group therapy programs
Speech Point’s group therapy programs are designed to support the development of social communication, pragmatic language, peer interaction, and functional conversation skills.
Our groups are intentionally small to ensure each participant has multiple opportunities to practice skills and receive individualized feedback. Most groups are limited to a maximum of three children, allowing for targeted instruction and meaningful practice.
Sessions focus on conversational skills, perspective-taking, problem-solving, and generalization of language skills to real-world social situations.
-
All new clients are offered a free initial consultation prior to group placement to review concerns and determine whether a group setting is the most appropriate fit.
Group availability is subject to clinical appropriateness, scheduling, and availability. Enrollment is intentionally limited to maintain high-quality instruction and individualized support.

community integration support & coaching
Community Integration Support and Coaching helps participants engage more successfully in community settings by coaching appropriate peer interactions and encouraging the use of language in socially expected and functional ways.
This service promotes independence by teaching participants how to initiate, develop, and maintain friendships within the environments they regularly attend. Support may occur within peer groups, recreational activities, or other preferred community settings.
This is not a medical therapy service, but a structured coaching service designed to strengthen the participant’s ability to engage with typical peers and participate meaningfully in their community.

All new clients are offered a free initial consultation to determine whether community-based services are appropriate and to develop individualized goals.

aba & school collaboration services
This is one of Speech Point’s most specialized and distinctive services. Collaboration services are led by speech-language pathologists who are formally trained in applied behavior analysis—an uncommon combination in pediatric therapy.
This service integrates speech and language goals directly into a child’s ABA program so communication skills can be practiced consistently throughout the week, not only during speech therapy sessions. This integrated model maximizes learning opportunities, strengthens skill generalization, and accelerates functional communication development.
Our speech therapists can also provide professional support and representation during your child’s IEP process.
-
All new clients are offered a free initial consultation to discuss current services, team structure, and collaboration needs.
Services are available virtually and in person and are subject to clinical appropriateness, scheduling, and provider availability.
