Developmental milestones are estimated ages for which mental and physical progression occur. Pediatricians and parents may informally assess a child’s development of communication skills by referring to the developmental milestones.
At your first visit, the formal evaluation will indicate whether or not there is a need for therapy. A therapeutic plan of care will usually consists of visits twice weekly for 30-60 minute sessions to address communicative, cognitive, feeding, and/or swallowing goals outlined in the initial evaluation. The therapy sessions are provided at one of our clinics or in the patient’s home, daycare or private school.
