Strengths-Based Evaluations
Every therapy journey at Gab & Grow starts with a comprehensive evaluation to understand your child’s unique strengths, communication profile, and areas of need. Evaluations are offered in-home or virtually, depending on what feels most comfortable and accessible for your family.
Evaluations may include:
Play-based, developmentally appropriate activities for younger children
Standardized assessments for school-aged children to measure specific speech, language, and communication areas
Dynamic assessment, offering insight into how your child learns and responds to support in real time
Speech and/or language samples collected through natural interaction to better understand how your child communicates in everyday situations
Input from caregivers and teachers
A detailed written report
A family consultation to review results and collaboratively set goals that are both functional and meaningful
If your child has had a speech and/or language evaluation within the past 12 months, we are happy to accept the report to guide therapy planning.
Please note: A copy of the evaluation report will be required prior to the start of services to ensure appropriate and effective treatment. If an updated evaluation is necessary, we can discuss next steps during the initial consultation.
Mobile & Virtual Therapy
Therapy is provided in your child’s most natural and comfortable environment - whether that’s at home, in a daycare setting, out in the community, or online. By meeting children where they are, we create opportunities for communication to grow within the routines, spaces, and activities that matter most to them.
Gab & Grow is based in Lake Nona (Orlando) and provides mobile therapy services throughout Orange and Osceola counties. Virtual therapy is also available for families located anywhere in Florida.
Each session is:
Play-based and child-led to keep your child engaged and motivated
Individualized to their interests, sensory needs, and preferred communication style
Neurodiversity-affirming, focusing on connection, autonomy, and authentic communication
Designed to build confidence and carry over into everyday routines
Culturally sensitive, with a deep respect for each family's background, values, and lived experiences
Caregivers are an essential part of the process, and we prioritize collaboration with families and the child’s support team. Strategies are shared throughout each session to encourage connection, build confidence, and empower families to support communication beyond the therapy setting.
We believe that learning happens best when children feel safe, supported, and heard - and that’s what we aim to provide in every session.
