Whether you have recently identified a potential speech-language or academic learning need or your child has received speech therapy in the past, a delay in evaluating an issue or the loss of ongoing services can impact your child’s progress.

Language Lab provides in-office, online and at-home therapy and learning services. We would be happy to discuss the details involved to see which setting is best for your child.

SPEECH, LANGUAGE AND FEEDING

Call us for a phone screening to determine your child’s need for further evaluation. Evaluations are performed in our office to assess your child’s speech, language and feeding therapeutic needs.

We see children for the initiation or continuation of services for:

  • Toddler language delays

  • Speech sound (articulation and apraxia) difficulties

  • Preschool/school-aged language delays/disorders

  • Social/pragmatic language skills

  • Executive functioning

  • Auditory and language processing

  • Feeding


SPEECH AND LANGUAGE HOMEWORK SUPPORT

We recognize that it can be challenging for parents to keep up with a child’s home exercise program. We are happy to provide online homework assistance to ensure that your child is getting the most out of the time between structured speech and language therapy sessions. Home exercise is an essential component of our therapeutic model and consistent home practice increases the effectiveness of treatment.

What Our Clients Are Saying

S.M.

“We started our son in speech therapy at Language Lab after seeing the incredible progress his older sister had made there when she was struggling. He had been making regular improvements for over 6 months when the pandemic hit. I was worried about what would happen with his speech therapy, but the teletherapy sessions have been wonderful. He gets excited for his sessions and has quickly learned the routine, and Missy has been so creative about finding ways to stimulate his speech across a computer screen. After each session, we can see the effects – he is more talkative, he uses longer sentences and a broader vocabulary. His preschool closed in March, so I find that these sessions are also really helpful in extending that early learning that has been missing in the past few months, which is an added bonus! Thank you Missy!”

“When the coronavirus pandemic hit New York, our son had been doing speech therapy at Language Lab for about two years and had made tremendous progress.  With no date in sight for when we would return to in-person sessions, I was very concerned that we would lose all his gains; however, the opposite has happened and he has continued to improve before my eyes. Diane is so understanding and incredibly good at getting him to remain focused and work hard during the session. She is creative about finding ways to use my son’s interests to keep him engaged as she challenges him to improve his sounds and articulation. My kids have done many Zooms and the ones with Diane are definitely of the highest quality.”

“Our daughter began at Language Lab at 2 yrs old, and over the 2 years that have followed, we have been incredibly grateful for the progress she has made working with Missy. When we began Zoom sessions in March, we felt trepidatious about the change and whether or not the process could be as productive as in-person sessions. However, it was quickly revealed that the same spirit of warmth, patience, encouragement and structure continue in an effective way, and have provided much-needed consistency for all of us during this moment of upheaval.”
