Evaluations

Before starting therapy at AugmentAbility, all clients participate in a comprehensive evaluation to identify strengths and areas for growth.

At AugmentAbility, I take a holistic approach to speech and language evaluations. This includes interviews, formal and informal tests (providing information without assigning a score), observations, and collaborative goal-setting with clients and caregivers.

The evaluations are conducted through a disability-affirming lens to develop personalized therapeutic plans that are functional and realistic for the client's unique needs.

AAC evaluations are also available at AugmentAbility Speech Therapy. I am committed to helping all clients find affirming and functional communication methods. Learn more about AAC here.

Remote evaluations for Colorado and Illinois clients

In-person evaluations are available for Chicago clients

Therapy

The evaluation is complete—fantastic! Now, it's time for therapy at AugmentAbility. My therapeutic approach aims to empower clients by equipping them with the skills to communicate effectively in real-life settings. All therapy goals are centered on fostering independence, advocacy, and confidence.

Therapy can be done individually or in a group. The amount of therapy a client has is tailored to the specific goals, needs, and logistical considerations of each client and their community.

At-home practice activities to enhance skill development between sessions are available upon request.
