Speech Pathology Services

OSLPVA Speech-Language Pathology Services and Rates for the 2009-2010 Academic Year

OSLPVA strives to provide excellent clinical services on Catholic school campuses and to replicate aspects of the service delivery model used in the public schools.  Having a speech pathologist on Catholic school campuses promotes dialogue about the importance of well-developed speech and language skills in all Catholic school students.  Speech and language problems can significantly impact academic achievement because the process of academic learning occurs via communication.  Students that have speech and language disorders, or students that have language-based learning disorders or reading difficulties, benefit tremendously from having clinical services available at their schools.  A speech-language pathologist on campus brings families, teachers, administration, and other staff together for the educational planning for students with speech and language concerns.  A speech-language pathologist can also assist students, families and school staff by providing consulting and therapeutic support on the Catholic school campus to maximize benefits of outside therapies a student may be receiving.

Services and rates are listed below!  Rate changes are effective as of March 1, 2009.

  • Initial Phone Consultations

    • No charge
    • Parents are encouraged to call if they have any questions about their child’s speech and language development or if they suspect their child has a speech or language problem.

  • Screening and Assessment Package

    • $75.00 for screening package only
    • $175.00 for combined screening and assessment package
    • No charge for screening for students of St. John the Evangelist Catholic School.  Casey Oliver is a SJE parent and provides free speech screenings to help fulfill the parent volunteer service requirement.
    • The screening package includes an on-campus screening of speech and language skills; a review of the student's case history and speech pathology records (if available); a written report; and an on-campus meeting if deemed necessary with the parents, classroom teacher and school staff to discuss results and recommendations. 
    • This special screening package is the part of the philanthropic mission of OSLPVA to bridge the gap between the Catholic schools and available community speech pathology resources and services.  It is provided at a minimal cost to help families decide if their child demonstrates a need for services and to help them access free and low-cost services in the community. 
    • The assessment package includes a comprehensive on-campus assessment guided by screening results and parent/teacher concerns; a written report of assessment results and a proposed treatment plan; and an on-campus meeting with parents, classroom teacher and school staff to discuss results and recommendations.  Assessments are very thorough and include both standardized and non-standardized measures of speech and language development. 

  • Individual Therapy Sessions

    • $30.00 
    • All therapy sessions are conducted during the school day at the school the student attends.  Therapy session times are coordinated with the student’s teacher to make sure that the session occurs at an optimal time for the student whenever possible.

  • Consultation Meetings

    • Meetings are free for all students that participate in speech-language therapy.
    • Meetings include parents, the classroom teacher, the student and other school staff as appropriate. 
    • The scheduling of meetings is dependent upon the frequency of therapy sessions and the student’s progress.

  • Case Management and Therapy Package

    • $90.00 per month
    • This package includes two individual therapy sessions per month; consultation meetings as needed; ongoing communication and coordination with the student’s other clinical providers, classroom teacher, academic resource providers, school administration, and parents; and training for school personnel on adaptations and accommodations that can help the student succeed in the classroom.
    • This program is specifically designed for students who are also receiving therapy services from other providers.  The goal is to facilitate carryover of skills students learn in therapy to the school environment and to assist teachers and school staff in serving these students.  

  • Parent and Teacher Training and Workshops

    • Fees vary, depending upon the needs of the group and type of service requested.
    • Please call OSLPVA for more information!  Training and workshops can be customized based upon the group’s needs and interests. 

Payment Information

  • Payment is due at the time of service unless otherwise specified.  Cash and personal check are the only payment methods accepted at this time.  This practice does not accept medical insurance.  However, receipts and superbills are provided after payment has been received to facilitate reimbursement from Health Savings Accounts or insurance companies.
  • Please note that fees are subject to change on a yearly basis.
