Accent Expansion
Accented English Services for Established Clients
Service Description
*This is for established clients only. Please sign up for an Initial Assessment Intake if you have not already. Once completed, you will be able to schedule more sessions. Plans are available in 5 and 10 session packages for $120 a visit. Our providers are licensed speech-language pathologists (SLPs), with master's degrees, who have years of experience working with disorders in speech, language, and voice. Sierra Speech SLPs have also focused their talents in non-disordered, but related areas. The area of accent expansion services has been changing rapidly. They used to be called "reduction" and "modification" services, but currently the best practice is to normalize accents and understand that they are not inherently negative. If you want to have the ability to be more easily understood in certain contexts, we can support you with tried and true techniques to be more intelligible. You may work on articulation of vowels and consonants, word stress, and sentence prosody. You will be provided with home practice to ensure progress.
Cancellation Policy
There is no limit to the number of times subscribers can purchase sessions, unless otherwise advised by the treating speech therapist. Subscribers must use their purchased session within six months. It is recommended you schedule ahead to ensure a consistent spot and to support your progress. Sessions missed without 48 hours advanced notice of cancelation or reschedule will forfeit one session of the package. Reach out to Sierra Speech if you want to be removed from a group.
