The process typically begins with a comprehensive virtual assessment to get to know your child, establish a baseline of their communication skills, and build rapport. Following the assessment, therapy sessions are generally scheduled weekly or biweekly at a consistent day and time for a minimum of 8 weeks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc40608116eb00e3c5fb127/1610354660866-VRVOTP5TQINXPZE189GG/Drawn-Floating_19.png FAQ | The Talk Spot | Speech-language Pathology - Why is the assessment virtual? The initial assessment is conducted virtually to help build rapport, ensure a good fit between the child and clinician, and prepare your child for in-home services. If your child will be working with a Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLP-A), both the supervising Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) and the SLP-A will attend the virtual assessment to get to know your child, answer your questions, and support a smooth transition into therapy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc40608116eb00e3c5fb127/1610355391220-7XL59N0OMKA9W9DSK9PH/Drawn-Floating_23.png FAQ | The Talk Spot | Speech-language Pathology - Can I send supporting documents from previous services? Yes! Please email any relevant supporting documents to info@thetalkspot.ca for review by the supervising Speech-Language Pathologist. Documents may include previous speech-language or hearing assessments, psycho-educational reports, school reports or learning plans, and occupational therapy, physiotherapy, or other allied health reports. Sharing these documents in advance helps your clinician better understand your child’s strengths and needs and prepare for the assessment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc40608116eb00e3c5fb127/1610354714392-TIHS9RUTYPHFRPSILASO/Drawn-Floating_21.png FAQ | The Talk Spot | Speech-language Pathology - How does the link for teletherapy work?

Many benefit and insurance plans cover private speech-language services. Canada Customs and Revenue Agency considers fees paid for private therapy by a Speech Language Pathologist to be a tax-deductible medical expense. The Talk Spot does not direct bill, however a receipt will be provided for tax purposes or submission to insurers for reimbursement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc40608116eb00e3c5fb127/1610354660866-VRVOTP5TQINXPZE189GG/Drawn-Floating_19.png FAQ | The Talk Spot | Speech-language Pathology - Where are the sessions held? In-person and online sessions are available. In-person therapy location will be agreed upon between the clinician and client (e.g., your home, your child’s daycare, SLP’s home-based office (for Alberta clients). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc40608116eb00e3c5fb127/1610355391220-7XL59N0OMKA9W9DSK9PH/Drawn-Floating_23.png FAQ | The Talk Spot | Speech-language Pathology - How many therapy sessions are necessary? Treatment plans are developed collaboratively between the Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) and the client or family. Each child’s therapy plan is individualized based on their goals, needs, and progress, so the number and frequency of sessions will vary. Parent involvement and practice at home can help support progress and reinforce skills learned in therapy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc40608116eb00e3c5fb127/1610354714392-TIHS9RUTYPHFRPSILASO/Drawn-Floating_21.png FAQ | The Talk Spot | Speech-language Pathology - Will you re-evaluate my child? Yes! The supervising Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) monitors your child’s progress and typically checks in after the first four sessions to review progress and determine next steps. Goals may be continued or adjusted based on your child’s needs and progress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc40608116eb00e3c5fb127/1610355391220-7XL59N0OMKA9W9DSK9PH/Drawn-Floating_23.png FAQ | The Talk Spot | Speech-language Pathology - What is your cancellation policy? Your appointment time is reserved exclusively for you. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before a scheduled session, or missed appointments without notice, will be charged the full session fee to the card on file, unless the absence is due to illness or an emergency. Repeated cancellations may result in a review of your child’s eligibility for ongoing services and, if necessary, termination of therapy. If you arrive late, your session will end at the originally scheduled time. The full session fee may still apply, depending on the circumstances of the late arrival. https://www.thetalkspot.ca/contact daily 0.75 2024-10-02 https://www.thetalkspot.ca/about daily 0.75 2026-06-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc40608116eb00e3c5fb127/3ccc1571-0f10-444e-a9ac-0d399ecf91e9/ChatGPT+Image+Jan+6%2C+2026%2C+08_57_52+AM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc40608116eb00e3c5fb127/bfff516b-bd8b-4a33-8652-e978589473f7/Screenshot+2024-08-22+at+5.56.54%E2%80%AFPM.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc40608116eb00e3c5fb127/30713b89-49cc-4a9e-9854-b76d50f3a2e9/Screenshot+2026-06-12+at+4.51.03+PM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc40608116eb00e3c5fb127/82bc5594-b7dd-4478-bd88-f866a607ed9e/Screenshot+2024-08-22+at+4.48.21%E2%80%AFPM.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc40608116eb00e3c5fb127/1609786977459-VMRXPEERGSPLBF77D5LO/TTS+-+About.png About 2.0 - Provide your child with resources to learn and develop speech and language skills they need to succeed academically and socially.
