Individual Consultation for Your Child

The materials provided in this website are intended to give you the tools to complete the assessment Hearing Them Into Voice with your child.  Moreover many parents then use Hearing Them Into Voice and the information they complete as a tool to advocate for their child with school personnel--educators, administrators, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists. 

However, often parents request that I conduct an independent consultation with their child.  The consultation usually consists of the following elements:

• Working with the child to understand his/her particular communication patterns;
• Reviewing the responses to Hearing Them Into Voice with the parents;
• Identifying educational goals for the coming year;
• Identifying appropriate augmentative communication tools; and
• Brainstorming the best ways to advocate for the child in the Individual Education Program (IEP) meetings and beyond. 

Following the consultation, I prepare a report that parents can use with their teachers in developing an IEP. 

The private consultations are usually $225.  If you would like to schedule an individual consultation please e-mail me at SMRsp@aol.com.  Please include the best way to contact you.  Right now private consultations are only available in the Los Angeles area.
