Speech-Language Pathology
States require that you work with a licensed speech-language therapist/pathologist skilled in areas such as enunciation, expressive (oral) language, receptive (auditory) comprehension, social pragmatic skills, feeding, fluency (stuttering), and other areas related to communication.Β In order to start therapeutic services by our speech-language therapists/pathologists, we need up-to-date written justification from State licensed therapists or medical doctors. This documentation typically includes ICD-10 code(s). We will also need current goals. These goals can come from recent reports, such as IEPs, or from current professionals working with your child. If you need up-to-date goals, we can help! If you need anΒ ICD-10 code,Β we offer a variety of speech-language evaluations.
At Brooklyn Letters, we offer a variety of evaluations for all ages including:
- Speech Disordersβ These can occur when an individual has difficulty producing speech sounds and putting them together to form intelligible words. Speech disorders include articulation or phonological disorders,Β apraxia of speech, and dysarthria.
- Literacy Assessments/Tutoring- We offerΒ literacy testing by licensed language therapistsΒ andΒ literacy specialists. We also provideΒ online literacy assessments. Please note that most neuropsychological evaluations do not include decoding and encoding (spelling goals); they mention the need for decoding and spelling intervention. If literacy goals are not included in the neuropsychological evaluation, our first session(s) will produce these goals. Also, many public and private schools use commercialized products for teaching literacy. Many commercialized products are not up-to-date with current scientific standards (itβs Corporate America). The good news is that we use reliable and valid literacy and language measures to determine how to best helpΒ the families we serve. If you want aΒ dyslexia diagnosis, we will personally refer you to local neuropsychologists who perform neuropsychological evaluations (starting prices are above 5k). Here are lower- costΒ neuropsychological options. New York State considers dyslexia a learning disorder, not a Communicative Disorder, so our language therapists/pathologists cannot diagnose dyslexia.
- VoiceΒ or Resonance β Voice or resonance disorders refer to problems in how oneβs voice sounds. One may sound hoarse, lose voice easily, talk through the nose or too loudly, or be unable to make sounds.
- Social Communication β This refers to the social use of verbal and nonverbal communication. This includes how one communicates socially, how well one follows conversation rules and story-telling (aspect of expressive language called narratives), tells jokes, and how one speaks with different people in varied situations.
- Cognitive-Communication β Someone with a cognitive-communication disorder may exhibit problems with organization, memory, attention, problem-solving, and other thinking skills. This can be a result of traumatic brain injury, a stroke, dementia, and may also be congenital.
- Feeding DisordersΒ βA feeding disorder/delay can occur alongside developmental delays or medical conditions, such as autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, or respiratory disorders. It can also happen in isolation. Young children withΒ feeding difficultiesΒ typically demonstrate a delay in or difficulty swallowing, sucking, chewing, and display food aversions, food refusal, texture selectivity, and food selectivity. Many factors can cause a young child to become a picky eater. Feeding therapy involves improving the childβs oral motor and underlying feeding skills and eating habits. We assess the childβs sucking, swallowing, chewing patterns, diet, behavior, and the home environment during meal time. Once we pinpoint the underlying problem(s), we create a family treatment plan. Many children require additional one-on-one feeding therapy, and we demonstrate and guide parent(s) on how to modify and tackle these mealtime challenges.
HOME-BASED TIER 1 AND 2 SPEECH LANGUAGE FEEDING EVALUATIONS & ASSESSMENTS
Please note that we are not a brick-and-mortar company, but we can rent space throughout NYC to accommodate a Tier 2 Evaluation. Evaluations are required when determining the need for speech-language and feeding therapy. Hereβs more information aboutΒ codes used for medical insurance purposes.Β Please note that we are out of pocket but can furnish an invoice that you can submit for out-of-network benefits.Β If you have updated evaluation(s), we will review them for free to determine the next steps. If you need an ICD-10 code related to literacy or a learning disorder, e.g., dyslexia, we recommend that you follow up for additional testing performed by a licensed neuropsychologist. We can connect you with some of the best local psychologists!
Bilingual/multilingual evaluations are billed at a higher rate than monolingual English evaluations and assessments. Bilingual/multilingual evaluations/assessments are usually marked up an additional 30 to 50% due to the additional work required to assess more than one language.
TIER 1 SPEECH LANGUAGE EVALUATIONS & ASSESSMENTS performed by Licensed Speech-Language Pathologists/Therapists $200-$500 for children under 47 months of age with mild speech-language delays.
Our speech-language evaluation includes at least a one-hour visit where we meet you and your child, review previous reports, testing, etc., and within ten business days, a 1.5- to 3-page report with professional impressions, recommendations, and goals (if services are recommended) are produced. This report can be presented to private schools and professionals. It cannot be used for IEPs. It helps establish the need for significant but mild articulation and expressive language therapy and for updating current speech-language therapy goals.
Mild Articulation/Enunciation/Speech Sound Concerns (ages 3+ only if the individual exhibits difficulties with a few age-appropriate speech sounds): $200-$300
Mildly Delayed Expressive Language (babies-47 months):Β $300-$500. Children 36-47 months with expressive language delays might qualify for a TIER2 evaluation: this will be discussed on the phone during our free consultation.
Mild Articulation and Expressive Language Concerns: (one visit, babies-47 months) $300-$500. Three-year-old children with moderate to severe expressive language delays will most likely require a TIER2 evaluation (this is discussed during our free phone consultation).
Social Skills Assessment (18-47-month-old children): $150-$200 We use a standardized empirically validated parent-report questionnaire to help assess pragmatic language development in 18- to 47-month-old children. This assessment helps identify children with delays in pragmatic language development (i.e. the use of language in a broad variety of everyday settings and in interaction with other people) compared to children of the same sex and age in months; to identify children whose expressive language skills should be further evaluated with a comprehensive speech and language assessment. We mail you the questionnaire, you fill it out, mail it back to us and we score it, provide you with the results, and schedule a 30-minute phone consultation.
TIER 2 COMPREHENSIVE SPEECH LANGUAGE EVALUATIONS & ASSESSMENTS performed by Licensed Speech-Language Pathologists/Therapists for all ages: $300-$1200
TIER2 Evaluations are more comprehensive than TIER1 Evaluations. TIER2 evaluations are perfect for private CPSE and CSE evaluations. A TIER2 Evaluation is recommended when a child displays more than a mild speech and language delay, particularly when the child is 48 months and older. All of our TIER 2 Evaluations occur over one visit at a quiet space in your home. These visits are 1-3 hours long, and your child will be given breaks. Occasionally, a child is unable to complete the testing with the appropriate amount of time allowed for assessments. We reserve the right to charge an additional $150-$200 fee to schedule a follow-up appointment to complete the testing when these circumstances arise.
TIER2 Evaluations include a 2 to 10-page report (higher costing evaluations result in extended reports and visa versa), including professional impressions, recommendations, and goals. Please allow us up to 10 business days to produce the report. If you need the report in less than ten days, it can be expedited for a fee of $100-$200, depending on how quickly you need the turnaround. For higher costing evaluations ($600 and up), we might require additional time to complete the report (10-15 business days). Results are discussed over the phone or in person if the data is scored at the time of the assessment. If a parent requests a follow-up meeting to discuss the results in person, this will be billed at the professional s hourly rate. We can recommend and start intervention before the report is furnished.
