Implementing learned strategies and incorporating them into daily routines is the best way for children to make significant progress from repeated practice at home.

Using toys and materials that are familiar to your child with trusted caregivers allows for a natural and nurturing environment in which learning and skill-development occurs.

No, children diagnosed with a language impairment or speech disorder require intensive, individualized speech therapy targeting specific needs identified by a formal evaluation.

Bilingual Speech Online follows a curriculum designed to support common language delays with individualized parent-child coaching.

Bilingual Speech Online will not be covered by your medical insurance plan because it is not considered outpatient speech therapy. You may be able to obtain coverage or reimbursement from specific workplace or specialty wellness programs to which you belong.

Both. While there are 12 weekly modules covering 40+ recorded lessons, you will meet with Ms. Paula during Weeks 3, 6 and 9.

Ms. Paula will review your submitted materials and give you individualized feedback and coaching alongside your little one. You may use these sessions to bring any concerns or specific requests to get the most out of the program.

We have designed Bilingual Speech Online based on a parent-child coaching model using culturally-sensitive methods for linguistically diverse families, guided by research and our clinical experience treating hundreds of pediatric clients in our private practice.

Contact the clinical practice of Ms. Paula, SLP Speech + Language Services to explore traditional speech therapy options.

Our practice approach is anchored by family engagement and participation to enhance and accelerate the outcomes of therapy. Parent-child coaching is an integral feature of many treatment plans designed for younger clients.

Young children (ages 1-3) receiving speech therapy need parent and caregiver involvement to implement strategies at home to be successful.

Bilingual Speech Online incorporates both English and Spanish in its lessons seamlessly. The content is mostly delivered in English and includes curated Spanish materials that appeal to bilingual families.

We understand there is variability in bilingual proficiency, especially among intergenerational families, and we've designed the content to be widely accessible.

While we encourage families to gain momentum by building skills weekly during their 6-week or 12-week program, the modules (and included live consultations) will remain in your secure course area for one year if you have to catch up or revisit skills and strategies.
