A little more information about how we can help!
At Trevino Bilingual Consulting and Speech Therapy (TBCST), it is very important to us that you feel comfortable and excited about the choice to allow us into your child's life. For that reason, we like to dedicate the time necessary to build a relationship with you and that begins the minute you get in touch with us! We want to make sure that we are going to be the right fit for your child and your family because that is the first step in successful speech therapy!
Family - Centered
Family is everything. Everything we do is family - centered. We work together with you to understand what is important to your child and your family. As we learn what your priorities, needs, and values are, we ensure that our treatment approach reflects those things. This allows us to make sure the treatment goals are relevant and meaningful. We prioritize family participation and collaboration. We provide caregiver support to help you use the strategies you learn to help your child outside of the therapy room.
Evidence - Based
The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) states that evidence-based practice (EBP) is using clinical expertise, scientific evidence, and client/caregiver perspectives to make informed decisions and provide high-quality services. So, we make it a priority to stay informed on the latest research and are constantly participating in continuing education.
Our process
1. Get in touch with us
Reach out and tell us what you are concerned about or what your child is struggling with. You will be able to talk to Yvonne, a certified speech language pathologist when you call, text or email.
2. Complete intake paperwork
We will make arrangements regarding intake paperwork to begin the process. This paperwork will allow us to gather important information about your child before the evaluation. The paperwork will also explain all of our policies and procedures.
3. Schedule your evaluation
We will work with you to schedule your evaluation. During the evaluation, we will talk about your child's developmental history your concerns, their strengths and things that are challenging. Then we will complete the testing. We will analyze all the information, develop a plan of care (POC) and write up a detailed report. A time will be scheduled go over the evaluation results and POC with you and give you a chance to ask any questions.
4. Start therapy
The evaluation results will give us the information necessary to develop meaningful goals for your child and your family. Now the fun part, we schedule therapy and get started!
