Services
Olive Branch Speech Therapy provides evaluation and therapy across a range of communication and feeding areas, described on its website as:
- Articulation, “How we produce speech sounds using coordination of the lips, teeth, tongue, vocal folds, and breath to form words intelligibly.”
- Language, “Expressing and understanding of vocabulary, putting words together, answering questions, following directions.”
- Stuttering, “When speech is interrupted by sound or word repetitions, sound prolongations, or blocks.”
- Social Skills, “How we interact with others, both verbally and non-verbally, through words, gestures, and body language.”
- AAC, Augmentative and Alternative Communication, “includes use of gestures, pointing to pictures, or using a speech-generating device.”
- Feeding, “Sensory and motor skills for eating and drinking safely,” including support for “picky” eaters and tongue, lip, or cheek ties.
Services are provided to children ranging in age from 18 months to 18 years, delivered in the home, at a child’s school or daycare, or through telehealth. The practice describes its process in four stages: a free initial phone or email consultation; a formal evaluation including standardized testing, a written report, and a follow-up phone conference; therapy services that “generally begin with one to two 45-minute therapy sessions per week,” with length and frequency tailored to each child; and a payment stage.
