GENERAL QUESTIONS
What ages do you work with?
tuLIPS Speech Therapy supports clients across the lifespan, from toddlers and young children to teens and adults. Communication needs can look different at every stage of life, and therapy is always tailored to the individual.
What kinds of communication concerns do you help with?
We support a wide range of speech and language needs, including speech sound disorders, language delays, stuttering, social communication challenges, voice concerns, and cognitive-communication differences. Therapy is personalized based on each client’s goals and needs.
How do I get started?
Getting started is simple. Reach out to tuLIPS Speech Therapy to schedule a consultation or evaluation. From there, we’ll guide you through next steps and help determine the best plan for you or your child.
PEDIATRIC SPEECH THERAPY
How do I know if my child may need speech therapy?
Some common signs include delayed speech milestones, difficulty being understood, trouble following directions, frustration when trying to communicate, stuttering, or difficulty expressing thoughts clearly. If something feels off, it’s always worth asking questions and seeking guidance.
Do you work with toddlers?
Yes. Early intervention can be incredibly valuable for toddlers who are showing signs of speech or language delay. Therapy for young children often includes play-based activities, parent coaching, and strategies to support communication in everyday routines.
Do parents participate in therapy?
Parent involvement is often an important part of the therapy process, especially for younger children. We provide guidance and strategies to help support communication skills outside of sessions and in daily life.
ADULT SPEECH THERAPY
Do you provide speech therapy for adults too?
Yes. Speech therapy is not just for children. Adults may benefit from support with speech clarity, stuttering, voice concerns, social communication, or cognitive-communication challenges following a stroke, injury, or other medical event.
SERVICES & PROCESS
What happens during the first evaluation?
The first step is typically an evaluation to better understand strengths, challenges, and communication goals. Based on the results, we provide recommendations and a personalized plan for next steps.
How often are speech therapy sessions scheduled?
Session frequency depends on the individual’s needs, goals, and treatment plan. Some clients benefit from weekly sessions, while others may have a different schedule based on recommendations.
How long does it take to see progress in speech therapy?
Progress varies depending on the individual, their goals, and consistency with therapy and practice at home. Some clients see improvement within a few weeks, while others benefit from longer-term support.
VIRTUAL & IN-PERSON OPTIONS
What is teletherapy in speech therapy?
Teletherapy is speech therapy delivered online through secure video sessions. It allows clients to work with a licensed speech-language pathologist using interactive tools, activities, and guided practice.
Who is teletherapy a good fit for?
Teletherapy works well for children, teens, and adults, including those with speech delays, communication challenges, or individuals recovering from stroke or injury. It’s also ideal for busy schedules or those who prefer at-home care.
What do I need for a virtual session?
All you need is a stable internet connection and a device such as a laptop, tablet, or smartphone. A quiet, distraction-free space helps ensure the best experience.
How do teletherapy sessions work?
Sessions begin with an evaluation or consultation, followed by a personalized treatment plan. Therapy is conducted through interactive online sessions, with progress tracked and adjusted over time.
