30 vs 60 Minutes
Our 60-minute model allows therapy to be intentional, individualized, and relationship-driven, rather than rushed.
Why We Structure Most Sessions for 60 Minutes
Many speech therapy practices offer only 30-minute or highly limited sessions. At our practice, we intentionally structure most of our therapy for 60 minutes because it allows us to support meaningful, functional progress across the lifespan—from young children to adults.
Communication Is Complex — and It Takes Time
Whether we’re working on:
Language development in children
Executive functioning and organization
Social communication and pragmatic skills
Cognitive-linguistic skills such as memory and problem-solving
Adult communication following injury, illness, or neurodegenerative change
-progress doesn’t happen through quick drills alone. A 60-minute session gives us the time to build connection, layer skills, and support real-world carryover.
What 60 Minutes Allows Us to Do Well
Longer sessions give us space to:
Build rapport and emotional safety, which is essential for growth at any age
Address multiple, interconnected goals in one session
Embed skills into functional, real-life activities
Support regulation, attention, and pacing
Provide caregiver or family education when appropriate
This is especially important for executive functioning, social communication, and adult therapy, where reflection, strategy use, and generalization are just as important as the skill itself.
Why This Is Different From 30-Minute Models
Thirty-minute sessions can be effective for very specific, isolated goals. However, they often limit:
Generalization beyond the therapy room
Higher-level language, organization, and problem-solving work
Opportunities to slow down and make adjustments based on the client’s needs
Our 60-minute model allows therapy to be intentional, individualized, and relationship-driven, rather than rushed.
Our Philosophy
We believe progress happens when there is time for connection, flexibility, and collaboration. By offering longer sessions, we can meet each client where they are—supporting not just skill development, but confidence, independence, and lasting change.
