Child participating in a Dyslexia Evaluation in Tallahassee, FL

Let’s Begin with an Evaluation

  • An evaluation is the first step to understanding how your child communicates and where support is most needed.

    During this appointment, your speech therapist will complete both formal and informal assessments, observe your child in meaningful activities, and spend time talking with you about your priorities and concerns.

  • A dyslexia evaluation helps us understand how your child is developing key reading and writing skills.

    During this appointment, we look closely at how your child recognizes sounds, blends letters into words, and uses those skills to read and spell.

    We also talk with you about your concerns, your child’s school experiences, and your goals for support.

  • Through the evaluation process, you’ll receive:

    • A clear explanation of your child’s strengths and needs

    • Individualized recommendations that reflect your goals as a family

    • Practical strategies you can begin using right away at home

    This process allows us to create a personalized therapy plan that gives your child the tools, confidence, and support they need to make real progress.

  • We understand the importance of differential diagnosis, meaning we get to the root cause of the problem and determine specifically what is going on with your child. This allows us to provide targeted treatment that delivers progress.

Let's Get Started!

Our Approach to Therapy

At Caroline’s Speech Retreat, therapy is never one-size-fits-all. We tailor each session to your child’s needs and interests, using play, movement, and hands-on activities to keep them engaged while working toward their goals.

Our approach to speech and dyslexia therapy is evidence-based and family-centered, promoting progress and goal achievement.

Family Partnership

We believe parents and caregivers are the key to lasting progress. That’s why you’re always welcome into our sessions, and when you can’t attend, we provide updates and strategies you can use at home.

Our speech therapy team wants you to feel supported and will ensure you are an active part of the process every step of the way.

Speech Therapy

We work with children experiencing speech difficulties related to apraxia of speech, articulation and phonological disorders, and communication delays to help them develop clearer speech. Speech therapy is tailored to your child’s specific needs while incorporating fun and play to keep sessions motivating.

Your speech therapist will help your child:

  • Improve articulation by teaching accurate sound production and correct movement between sounds

  • Develop the ability to self-correct when they aren’t understood

  • Gain confidence in their communication so they can connect with peers, teachers, and family

Dyslexia Therapy

We provide structured, evidence-based support to address dyslexia and other literacy challenges. Dyslexia therapy sessions are tailored to your child’s needs and focus on building the essential skills for reading, writing, and spelling.

Your therapist will help your child:

  • Strengthen letter-sound awareness and decoding skills for reading

  • Improve spelling and writing through multisensory practice

  • Increase their confidence and participation at school by making reading and writing less overwhelming

Many families choose dyslexia therapy with a speech therapist because we are trained to identify the root of your child’s challenges and provide targeted intervention— unlike a tutor, who can only offer extra practice without addressing the underlying issues.
