Let’s Get Started!

Scheduling your first visit

Call or email us to schedule a time to chat! Or complete an inquiry form.

We’ll ask questions to learn more about your child and your concerns. We can schedule an initial evaluation or make a plan to review an outside speech evaluation (if you have one from another practice or your child’s school). If an evaluation is completed, you will receive a written report with results of the assessment, and a treatment plan including goals and service recommendations.

Your child can begin services!

Preparing for Your First Visit

  • Please fill out our pre-visit forms packet once you receive it, and email it back at least three days before your first visit.
  • Please gather any previous speech-language evaluations that you may have had completed at another private practice or through your child’s school- as this can help reduce time needed for an evaluation, and provided important background information for us.
  • If your session will be via telehealth, you will be sent a HIPAA compliant Google Meet Link the day before the evaluation. If possible, please log in from your laptop or tablet, rather than your phone, as this makes the screen larger and easier for your child to see and participate in the activities.

Pre-Visit Forms

Our Pre-Visit form packet can be filled out in Adobe Acrobat and should be emailed back at least three days before your first visit.

What to Expect Your First Session

We are excited to meet you and your child in our Bakery Square office! The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other, and for us to learn about your child’s unique strengths and needs, as well as your family’s goals. Sessions are always fun – from day one! Your child will enjoy a variety of play-based activities designed to help us assess where their current skills are and what we need to work on next. Parents remain with their child for the duration of the first session/evaluation.

Arriving at The Office

Our office is conveniently located in the East End of Pittsburgh, on the business side of Bakery Square, across the street from the Bakery Square Garage.

There is street parking available on Living Place, in front of the building, as well as two hour complementary parking in the Bakery Square Garage. Take the elevators up to the second floor and we will meet you in the waiting area. There is a large waiting area, with a coffee machine, foosball table, and plenty of seating options.

You will stay with your child during the first session or evaluation.
