After Decades of Providing High-Quality Speech-Language Evaluations, Therapy and Related Professional Services, We are No Longer Providing Direct Services
|
Hein Speech-Language Pathology, Inc. has been a dynamic private practice, working with children and adults with a wide variety of communication challenges. Due to the Covid pandemic, we had to transition to only providing services on-line. Now in a state of semi-retirement, Joanne and Herb Hein no longer provide direct services. The following are services we are proud to say we have provided to our community for decades.
We provided consultation and treatment via teletherapy for:
We also worked with clients who were recovering from injuries and diverse diagnoses, including:
Another area of specialty had been legal/expert witness work which included:
We also worked with people who were interested in:
In addition to direct therapy, we prided ourselves in consulting with families, medical professionals, and educators to provide a high level of collaboration, in order to increase the client's success in therapy. |

"Working with Joanne has been a wonderful and beautiful gift... I was initially referred to her for help with memory, but very quickly, our sessions turned into so much more... Joanne was my most staunch and steadfast advocate in a very challenging and difficult disability hearing. During that phase of my life, I was completely cognitively challenged. She understood why, and gently- yet-firmly explained how my brain had only a certain amount of 'gumballs,' or cognitive energy. Each and every input (auditory and otherwise) had to be processed, which used up 'gumballs' each time, so my symptoms and limited functioning directly related to 'gumball depletion'. Joanne has helped me understand and better manage basic self-care. Her methods have helped me plan, organize and implement the most basic of Executive Functions, since I am frontal-lobe-challenged. Joanne is much more than a vastly experienced and competent speech and language pathologist... she is a deeply compassionate and gifted healer who has intuition and insight well beyond her realm of expertise. She is indeed, the 'guru of gumballs'. Oh, and this testimonial would be remiss without appropriate recognition of her support team. I haven't worked with Herb personally, but her Office Manager is as polite, professional and helpful as I've ever encountered. :-)" ~ Stu W. 02/18/15 |
Our Treatment Approach
In our experience, the most successful speech-language pathology treatments are achieved in the context of a team. We have prided ourselves in creating teams of friends, family, teachers, coaches, colleagues, etc. (as appropriate) to support and further develop therapeutic achievement.
