Prior Eval Review & New Patient Set-Up- $25

If your child has had a recent speech-language evaluation completed (less than 1 year) from a school or other private practice, Pep Talk (most likely) does not need to complete another evaluation. This cost covers the review of the prior evaluation, intake paperwork, such as social-developmental history, areas of need, etc…, and establishment of a Diagnosis & Treatment plan, which outlines areas of needs and goals for your child. Pep Talk and the caregivers will meet and discuss all information during a consultation session following the evaluation review to ensure goals align with the child’s and family’s needs.
