We offer high-quality services that use research-backed techniques that take the whole family into account. We care about our clients and pride ourselves in seeing progress made, communication improved, and a better future for your child. Insurance & Frequently Asked Questions Insurance Information Frequently Asked Questions Initiating the Process Intial Evaluation Breakdown Service Frequency Attendance Policy If your child has insurance, such as Medicaid or private insurance, that Southshore Bilingual Therapy, Inc. is participating in, a referral with a diagnosis code will be required to bill the insurance company properly. A referral for therapy is made through your child’s physician. Upon receipt of the referral, we will schedule the initial evaluation. NOTE! If you choose to self-pay for therapy services, a referral is not required . If you have any questions, please be sure to contact us . When your child is evaluated, the therapist will make a recommendation for the frequency and length of the treatment plan of care based on the specific needs of your child. Typically, children receive therapy 1 to 2 times per week. As children progress, the therapist may ease them out of therapy by decreasing the frequency to every other week or once a month to ensure that they maintain skills. Attendance and participation in therapy, along with adherence to home programs, are crucial for your child's progress and success. While we understand illness and emergencies may arise, we kindly request that you minimize cancellations and no-shows and adhere to the following attendance policy: - A fee of $25 will be assessed for cancelation (within 24 hours) or No Show and will be collected at the next appointment in the form of cash, debit/credit card, or check for all commercial insurance policyholders. This fee wil be billed directly to the parent and not their health insurance company, as medical insurance does not provide coverage for missed sessions. - If you reschedule or are late for 3 scheduled appointments within the certification period, the office will reserve the right to discharge the client. Additionally, if you arrive late for a scheduled appointment, the session will still end at the scheduled time or may be canceled. - If you fail to appear for an appointment (no show) without providing the appropriate advance notification for 3 or more appointments within the certification period, the office will reserve the right to cancel all pending appointments and to no longer offer services to you as a client. Please note : All cancellations must be made at least 24 hours before your scheduled appointment First meetings with a therapist from Southshore Bilingual Therapy Inc., you can expect a thorough and careful evaluation of your child that is tailored to the concerns that prompted the referral. Each evaluation will utilize objective and standardized testing measures. Most evaluations are completed in 1 hour. Part of that time will be spent assessing your child and the rest will be utilized to speak with the parent/guardian present to collect additional information needed in addition to formal measures. We will also use the time to explain the results of the evaluation, provide any additional information, and answer any questions. Please note, that evaluations will vary from child to child (depending on age, capabilities, and/or physical/mental development). We strive to conduct each evaluation to minimize stress for the child and hope that it becomes a positive experience that the child enjoys. For this to succeed, your child might need information about the evaluation ahead of time. We recommend a few things for this process to be easier: Telling your child that we will be playing games with them For older children tell them we want to see how they use their eyes, hands, and muscles. Reassure your child that this is meant to be a fun experience for them.

Our Services ¿Qué es la terapia del habla y el lenguaje? El habla y el lenguaje son esenciales para la comunicación desde una edad temprana. El lenguaje implica la incorporación de reglas sociales para determinar los significados de las palabras, cómo juntar las palabras y determinar qué combinaciones de palabras son mejores en diferentes situaciones. El habla incluye cómo se hacen los sonidos del habla, el uso de nuestras cuerdas vocales y la respiración para producir sonido, y el ritmo del habla. Los trastornos de la comunicación pueden implicar dificultades del habla y del lenguaje de forma aislada o en conjunto. Los patólogos del habla y el lenguaje, certificados por la Asociación Estadounidense del Habla, Lenguaje y Audición, son expertos en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de retrasos y trastornos del habla y el lenguaje. Nuestros patólogos pediátricos del habla y el lenguaje se especializan en evaluar y tratar diversos trastornos del habla y el lenguaje en niños, incluidos los siguientes: Retrasos/trastornos de la articulación Trastorno del procesamiento auditivo Desorden del espectro autista Retrasos en el lenguaje receptivo / expresivo Retrasos en el lenguaje social Retrasos por pérdida de audición Problemas de fluidez / Tartamudeo Trastornos de la voz ¿Cómo sé si necesito servicios terapéuticos del habla y/o del lenguaje para mi hijo? ¿Usted y/u otros tienen dificultad para entender a su hijo? ¿Experimenta su hijo niveles cada vez mayores de frustración cuando los demás no están bajo su control? ¿A su hijo le cuesta jugar con otros niños? ¿Tu hijo tiene problemas para seguir instrucciones y entender lo que le dices? ¿La tartamudez es una preocupación? ¿Su hijo tiene más de dieciocho (18) meses y no habla o usa menos de veinte (20) palabras? Independientemente de la edad, ¿tiene su hijo algún problema con las habilidades sociales del lenguaje? ¿Evita las salidas porque las rabietas de su hijo son abrumadoras? Si respondió 'sí' a cualquiera de estas preguntas, es posible que su hijo necesite una evaluación y/o terapia del habla y el lenguaje. Hable de sus inquietudes con el pediatra de su hijo y solicite una remisión para un habla-lenguaje evaluación.

Limited Vocabulary: By age 3, your child is not using a wide range of words or is struggling to combine words into sentences. Stuttering: Repetitions, prolongations, or blocks in speech that persist beyond early childhood. Voice Concerns: Persistent hoarseness, unusual pitch, or volume issues. Social Communication Issues: Difficulty making eye contact, taking turns in conversation, or understanding social cues. Feeding and Swallowing Difficulties: Struggles with chewing, swallowing, or transitioning to solid foods. Challenges with Play and Interaction: Your child prefers to play alone or struggles to engage in pretend play or social games.

Terapia ocupacional pediátrica ¿Qué es la Terapia Ocupacional Pediátrica? “Lograr la salud, el bienestar y la participación en la vida a través de la participación en la ocupación” es la declaración general que describe el dominio y el proceso de la terapia ocupacional en su sentido más completo. (The American Journal of Occupational Therapy, agosto de 2020, Vol. 74, Supl. 2) Los terapeutas ocupacionales pediátricos (OT, por sus siglas en inglés) consideran todos los aspectos del perfil ocupacional de un niño, incluidos sus roles como hijo o hija, hermano, estudiante/aprendiz temprano, amigo de sus compañeros. Como base para la selección de intervenciones motivadoras de OT calificadas adaptadas al niño individual, el OT aprende acerca de los intereses y actividades favoritas del niño. Los objetivos de la terapia ocupacional se relacionan con mejorar la participación exitosa en las actividades cotidianas, como jugar/aprender, atención, dormir, habilidades de afrontamiento/descanso, habilidades de relación/interacción, tareas de cuidado personal (vestirse, alimentarse, cepillarse los dientes, ir al baño, bañarse). Cada niño tiene una personalidad individual, métodos de afrontamiento, perfil del sistema nervioso que revela habilidades de modulación y procesamiento sensorial, y varía en habilidades motoras/físicas, emocionales, cognitivas y de desempeño social. Además de proporcionar una intervención OT directa con los niños, los terapeutas ocupacionales pediátricos colaboran con los cuidadores y brindan capacitación práctica a los cuidadores/padres para apoyar la implementación exitosa del programa recomendado en el hogar por parte de la familia.
