The duration of therapy depends on several factors, including your child's individual needs, goals, diagnosis or area of concern, age, attendance consistency, home practice, and progress over time. Some children benefit from short-term therapy to target a specific skill while others benefit from ongoing therapy to support their feeding and communication as it develops and needs change. Your clinician will work with your family to develop goals and achievable timelines. At Nourish Feeding and Speech Therapy, our goal is to provide therapy only as it is beneficial and clinically appropriate.
