The focus of Speech-Language therapy is to assist children in improving their speech and language sk
ills through motivating activities and play. Our therapists use a child-directed approach to elicit language and target therapy goals with fun, meaningful activities, and have received advanced training in many of the latest researched based therapeutic approaches, including PROMPT, HANEN parent training, Sequential-Oral-Sensory (SOS) approach to feeding, Social Skills, Lindamood-Bell, Augmentative and Alterative Communication (AAC) and iPad technology. We incorporate these strategies into a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses each child’s unique needs.
