ABOUT US
ABOUT PEARWOOD THERAPY SERVICES PLLC
In today’s world, there is nothing more important than the ability to communicate. Our goal is to help your child master the fundamental communication skills that are necessary to build connections and relationships with others.
We offer resources, consultations/screenings, evaluations, and individualized treatment sessions to help your child reach his/her full potential. We utilize a family-focused approach and encourage family members to be active participants to enhance the skills they already have and increase confidence to implement new strategies learned. We strongly believe in consistent communication with the families and also make it a priority to collaborate with the other professionals (e.g. OT, PT, BCBA) that are working with your child. Through a collaborative approach, we aim to treat the “whole child” and feel this is a critical component in successful therapy.
We have a passion for working with children and continue to strive to make a positive difference in children’s lives. Let’s maximize your child’s communication potential together!

SERVICES
COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION
An evaluation is required before beginning speech and language therapy to gain a comprehensive understanding of your child’s skill level and identify area(s) of need. Pearwood Therapy Services uses a variety of assessment tools to diagnose the presence of a speech or language delay/disorder. Evaluations use a combination of background information, parent interviews and information, observation(s), performance-based assessments, and standardized testing. Pearwood Therapy Services will provide a detailed report including a discussion of findings and recommendations. Below are the areas and focuses of assessments:
Articulation/Phonology Assessment: Evaluates a client’s speech-sound productions using formal and informal measures to assess if there are distorted speech-sound productions of errored sound patterns.
Stuttering Assessment: Evaluates a child’s speech using formal and informal assessment measures to identify stuttering and determine the severity of stuttering.
Expressive/Receptive Language Assessment: Contains formal and informal measures to assess a client’s language abilities. Examples of areas evaluated include vocabulary, grammar, syntax, narrative skills, comprehension, and inferencing.
Pragmatics/Social Language Assessment: Includes multiple formal and informal measures of a client’s skills and knowledge during social interactions and conversations.
INDIVIDUAL SPEECH THERAPY
Sessions are 30-45 minutes long, depending on the client's needs and attention span. We always take time to discuss the session and homework with the client or parents (for clinic or home sessions), or to send parents a detailed note including the activities we did and how to complete the homework (for daycare or ABA center sessions).
SOCIAL SKILLS GROUPS
Group sessions are 50 minutes long and led by a Speech Language Pathologist or Psychologist. Groups are formed based on age/social abilities and incorporate skills from Social Thinking, Sea Bridges, Autism Level Up, and other evidence-based resources.
Intake Interview
Prior to being matched with a social group, we first require an Intake Interview. Information obtained during the intake interview will help determine if your child is likely to benefit from social skills training, and if so, which group would be appropriate for him/her. This is not a formal assessment, and no report will be generated based on the results of the interview.
The Intake Interview takes approximately an hour (30 minutes with parent and 30 minutes with child).
If there is not a current group which would be appropriate for your child, your child will be placed on a waiting list until an appropriate group becomes available.
Cost
INTAKE INTERVIEW FEE: The intake interview is a one-time fee of $115. It is due at the time of the Intake Interview.
WEEKLY GROUP FEE: Weekly groups are $65/week.

INSURANCE/PAYMENT INFO
We are in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield. We also accept Cash, Credit Card (via Stripe), and HSA/FSA.
If we are not in network with your insurance provider, we can provide you with a Superbill so you can submit your invoice to your insurance for possible reimbursement through out of network benefits.
It is each client's responsibility to confirm eligibility for speech services with their insurance provider prior to starting therapy. As with all services that are billed to insurance, the client is responsible for any charges that the insurance does not cover. We provide complimentary benefits confirmation, but your insurance company is the final word on coverage.
Regardless of payment method or insurance coverage, clients are provided with a detailed invoice for each session that includes all information necessary to submit to insurance for reimbursement.
