FAQ

What happens during an initial evaluation?

During your first visit, Mind Body Voice and Speech completes a comprehensive evaluation. We'll discuss your primary concerns, review your relevant medical history, and gather data to develop a personalized plan of care. If follow up sessions are necessary, we will provide you with exercises to begin your home program.

How can I prepare for my first visit?

It is not necessary to prepare anything in advance, however you might find it helpful to:

• gather records from any previous evaluations or visits with doctors and speech pathologists

• ensure you have a quiet space for the session

• prepare any questions you may want to ask

• for teletherapy: verify that you have a strong internet connection and test your microphone before the session

How long will I have to attend sessions?

Length of follow-up sessions varies based on factors such as your diagnosis, the severity of your condition, and the goals set during your initial evaluation. Some clients see significant improvement in just a few sessions, while others may require several months or more.
