Talk With a Pediatric Therapist About Your Concerns
When something feels a little off with your child’s communication or development, it is hard to know where to start. A consultation with Communication Cottage Therapy gives you a simple, low-pressure way to talk through your concerns with a pediatric speech-language pathologist or occupational therapist serving Myrtle Beach and the surrounding areas.
You do not need a referral or a long list of questions. Just bring what you have noticed, and we will help you make sense of it together.
What a Consultation Is
A consultation is a focused conversation about your child, booked in 15-minute increments and typically held over the phone for your convenience. It is the perfect first step if you are considering an evaluation but are not sure whether one is needed.
Consultations are also a great fit for current families who want extra support between weekly speech or occupational therapy sessions. We can talk through additional strategies for language development, ways to elicit goals at home, and how to carry over progress into everyday routines.
When to Book a Consultation
Your child is not meeting the speech, language, or motor milestones you expected.
A pediatrician, teacher, or daycare provider suggested you look into therapy.
You are weighing an evaluation and want to understand the process first.
You are already a client and want extra strategies to use at home this week.
You simply have questions and want to talk with a licensed pediatric therapist.
What Happens Next
After your consultation, we will give you honest, clear guidance on the right next step, whether that is a quick screening, a comprehensive evaluation, or simply some strategies to try at home. There is never any pressure, and you leave with a better understanding of how to support your child.
We serve families throughout Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach, Socastee, Garden City, Murrells Inlet, Conway, Carolina Forest, and Pawleys Island, across Horry and Georgetown Counties, with care available in our clinic, in your home, and in your child’s daycare or school.
