What to Expect

  • In order to schedule an initial appointment, you must complete the Evaluation Request Form. Clicking the link will direct you to a form where you can enter your child’s information. After filling out the form, we will send you intake paperwork to complete. Once we’ve received all the paperwork, we will schedule the initial evaluation. Before you schedule your appointment, please ensure you have read and understand our insurance information.

  • Before beginning any therapy, a comprehensive evaluation is completed to determine your child’s therapeutic support. Each evaluation includes the testing session, complete report, and a recommended plan of care specific to your child.

  • Following the evaluation, you will receive an evaluation report within two weeks. The evaluation report will include recommendations and a plan of care, if necessary. After you review the evaluation, the administrative staff will reach out to get your child’s recurring therapy time slot(s) scheduled.

  • Your child will be given a therapy time slot that is the same time and day every week. Each time your child comes in for therapy it will be about 30 minutes. Please be sure to arrive to our office at least 5 minutes prior to the appointment beginning! Your child will continue therapy weekly, following the therapists plan of care. If you have any questions about your child’s plan of care, don’t hesitate to talk with the therapists about it during any of your scheduled appointments.

β€œA child who is comfortable and trusts their therapist is a child who makes progress. Joyful, play based interactions are a major component of successful therapy.”

β€œI can’t say enough good things about our experience at Sunshine! Sarah and her staff were wonderful, kind, beyond easy to work with and my son left every appointment happier than he came in. The results we saw with his speech and confidence were significant and exactly what we were hoping for. The culture there is so positive and supportive; I 100% would recommend them to anyone looking for an SLP for their little one.”
