The therapy hour

The hour belongs to this person.

After evaluation, sessions are individualized. You will not find a published menu of minutes or rates here. You will find how the time feels: listening, real conversation, and a next step you can take home.

Every journey begins with hope.

What you will notice

Therapy is more than treatment. It is a partnership.

We listen first

The hour belongs to this person. History, mood, and what happened since last time shape the work—not a clipboard that ignores who walked in.

Play and conversation are the method

For a child, that may look like play, books, or the snack already on the table. For an adult, it may look like the words needed for a meal, an appointment, or a story that still belongs to them.

Families are partners, not spectators

Caregivers are essential members of the team. Coaching happens in the moment so skills can live in everyday routines—not only in the session.

You leave with one next step

Carryover is named before you go: a greeting at the door, a pause after a question, a phrase to try before a medical visit. Home practice stays short and kind.

Children

Play is not a break from the work.

For infants, school-age children, and adolescents, the session often looks like the life they already have. Caregivers stay close enough to carry the strategy into the next meal, bath, or car ride.

Parent coaching is part of the hour, especially in early intervention.
Bring the pictures, signs, or device already in use, if you have them.
Fluency work aims at ease and self-advocacy—not a demand for perfect speech.
If a task feels like a test, say so. We will change it.

Children & families

Adults

The person is still here.

After stroke, brain injury, Parkinson's disease, or dementia-related change, the hour protects dignity. We slow down. We practice the conversations that still need to be heard.

Goals live in real conversations: meals, appointments, stories, and being understood with dignity.
Families learn to slow down, confirm what was understood, and keep this person in the conversation.
Medical care stays with your physicians. ROSE walks with communication.
AAC can be part of adult care too—a voice for today, not a last resort.

How we know it is working

Progress is measured in the life you already live.

ROSE measures progress in confidence, connection, independence, and hope. Scores can be part of the picture. They are never the whole garden.

Confidence to try again
Connection in a conversation that already belongs to this family
Independence in a daily routine
A milestone that matters to you—not only a score on a form

What a session is not

Clear limits protect the hour.

A session is not a one-size weekly package you have not agreed to. Length and frequency are named after evaluation.
It is not a worksheet factory or an hour that turns a parent into a drill sergeant.
It is not a diagnosis appointment, and it is not a replacement for medical care.
Feeding therapy is a hoped-for future offering, not part of the current hour. Today's work is communication.

Length, weekly frequency, and fees are named before therapy begins. The only fee published here is $25 for a late cancellation or no-show, unless waived, when less than 24-hour notice is given.

Ready when you are

The next hour can begin with a call.

You do not need a referral to start a conversation. If the plan is not a fit, J'Vohnne will say so.
