Speech Sound Intensives

Speech sound intensives differ from traditional, weekly therapy because they occur within a condensed time frame over one week. This creates a unique therapy experience that can maximize your child’s progress in a shortened time frame! 

Speech sound intensives last 5 days (or 5 total sessions) over the course of a week. Each session lasts 50 minutes.

For summer 2025, you may enroll in a morning OR an afternoon intensive. Morning intensives are 9-9:50 AM, and afternoon intensives are 3-3:50 PM. 

Current Availability:

June 9-13, morning and afternoon

June 23-27, morning and afternoon

July 21-25, morning and afternoon

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Your child may be a good fit for a speech sound intensive if: 

    • They are school-aged (ideally 5 years old and up). 

    • They have 1-2 speech sounds in error (examples include, but are not limited to: R, L, S, SH, CH, etc.). 

    • They are motivated to improve their speech. 

    • They do not present with any behavioral concerns that may impact their ability to participate. 

  • Intensives are a total investment of $500 for five 50-minute sessions, or $100 per visit. We require a 50% deposit to secure your spot, with the remaining 50% paid following the first appointment. We are not able to provide superbills for intensives.

  • No! This is one of the benefits of summer intensives. A formal evaluation will not be conducted, but we do require a 15-minute phone consultation with the parent to determine if an intensive is appropriate for your child. Baseline performance will be obtained during first visit, and objectives for the week (based off of baseline) will be discussed verbally with the parent.

  • Each day may look different, but therapy sessions typically involve a variety of activities to practice your child’s target sound. These may include worksheets, games, play-based activities, or drill work. As SLPs we also provide cueing and feedback to elicit a more correct sound. Homework will be provided for carryover. At the end of the intensive, additional carryover assignments will be provided.

  • Following completion of the intensive, a summary report of present level of performance will be provided. Additionally, we will discuss suggestions for carryover of learned skills. You are also welcome to continue traditional therapy with us through weekly appointments!
