Types of pediatric SLP services
As the owner of a private practice, you know that pediatric speech language services can benefit your community. Using the SimplePractice SLP services outreach letters, you can share your skills with those who need it most and build your client base.
Pediatric speech-language pathology encompasses everything from screenings to onsite therapy at preschools, daycares, and elementary schools. SLPs can even offer in-services, or training, to school staff—who may not otherwise recognize speech issues in their students, know who to make referrals to for additional therapy or screening, and how to model good speech patterns at school.
Using our customizable outreach letters to share your full menu of services with potential clients is fast, simple, and can save you time on administrative work.
Let’s take a closer look at the types of pediatric SLP services included in our outreach letter bundle.
Offering speech language pathology services on-site at preschools/daycare centers
Preschools and daycares are prime client recruitment places for SLPs in private practice.
Early childhood often involves an explosion in language development, but for some young children, this is the period when speech and language delays are first detected.
Toddlers and preschool-age children diagnosed with articulation or phonological delays and disorders, autism spectrum disorder, or childhood apraxia of speech need support from a speech-language pathologist at this crucial moment in their development.
Offering speech-language pathology services on-site at preschools/daycare centers gives young children access to therapy when and where they need it most. With our SLP services outreach letters, you can reach out directly to preschools and daycare centers to share how you can help.
Pediatric SLPs in private practice are uniquely qualified to support early childhood language development. Bringing speech and language therapy directly to the preschool or daycare setting allows SLPs to target skill development in the most natural context.
Connect with potential clients in the early childhood education space by sending one of our carefully-crafted outreach letters.
Offering speech and language screenings to preschools/daycares
The first step in identifying a potential speech or language disorder is to conduct a screening.
However, some preschools and daycare centers do not offer this critical service. SLPs can fill an important role, ensuring young children receive intervention when they need it.
By offering speech and language screening to preschools/daycares, you can identify children at risk for speech and language disorders.
Once on-site, SLPs can efficiently screen for a wide range of speech and language delays and disorders, deciding whether assessment or intervention might be beneficial.
Providing screenings on-site is convenient for families and school administrators, but preschools and daycares may be unaware that this important service exists. Pediatric speech therapists can use the SimplePractice SLP services outreach letters to contact preschools and daycare centers to inform them about screenings.
Toddlers and preschoolers who are at-risk for speech and language disorders or delays should receive intervention as soon as possible.
As a pediatric SLP in private practice, you can be the first point of contact for center directors and educators interested in screening young students. An outreach letter will put you on their radar and give kids access to services sooner.
Offering in-services to preschools/daycare centers
Pediatric SLPs have a wealth of knowledge to share. In-services are an opportunity for SLPs to deliver high-quality education on speech and language development and disorders.
SLP services involve more than just assessments and treatment. Speech therapists in private practice can also provide professional development and coaching to educators who work with young children.
Offering in-services to preschools/daycare centers allows you to share important information about speech-language development and disorders. Your expertise as a clinician can have a ripple effect on the educators who work with children.
Whether you have special certifications or a strong knowledge base about particular disorders or treatment methods, you can offer school staff and their students a lot.
Reaching out to preschools and daycares with our SLP services outreach letters will ensure educators know you are available to provide specialized training to help them identify speech issues, correct speech patterns in the classroom, and make SLP referrals when necessary.
Reaching out to private elementary schools about speech-language pathology services
Private elementary schools do not typically hire in-house SLPs, which creates an opportunity for SLPs in private practice. These schools may benefit from contracted SLP services, on an as-needed basis or for a short period of time (like the first few months of school).
By sending our customizable SLP services outreach letters, you can advertise your pediatric SLP practice to private elementary schools, who don’t know where to look for support. They may not even be aware that they can use an outside provider for speech therapy—on terms that better suit their school and students’ needs.
During the elementary years, a range of speech and language needs require intervention, such as stuttering, articulation delays, and more.
Whether the services you offer are diagnostic or therapeutic in nature, it’s critical that principals, heads of schools, and learning specialists are aware of what you have to offer.
