At Dallas Reading and Language Services we work with all ages of children and adolescents, from toddlers, pre-school, school-aged children through age 18, as well as young adults. Our Speech-Language Pathologists and SLP-Assistants have high expectations for every child and young adult, as we aim to provide the tools and support they need to succeed. Our speech-language therapy is highly individua
lized to each student within nearly all areas of communication. "It is important for our students to know we believe they are smart, and that we expect them to do well, in therapy, in school, and in life," says Rachel Betzen, M.A., CCC/SLP, the clinic's founder. Dallas Reading and Language Services provides FREE Speech-Language Hearing Screenings with an SLP, so you and your child can meet us and decide if you would like to move forward with a comprehensive evaluation for speech and language and literacy. We assess problem areas as well as your child's strengths and learning modality. Parents attend a later consultation to receive the written report and discuss the findings and therapy goals. Some students attend once weekly, and occasionally students attend three times a week. Therapy is tailored to address each child's goals in the ways he or she learns best. Activities are structured so students are moving forward with speech, language and reading/writing at the same time. Our Speech-Language Pathologists and SLP-Assistants also provide private pay reading programs for reading decoding and reading comprehension. Reading Programs are specifically tailored to your child's needs, with goals that update as we see progress. For those that attend therapy, this supplement may be added before or after your child's therapy session. This is a private pay service only.
