Our Services
​
All clients will complete a comprehensive evaluation to determine their strengths and needs within the area(s) of concern. This information will then be used to develop individualized goals and treatment plans.
For information about speech and language disorders, see below.
Assessment
​
Using creative, motivating and fun activities, our skilled clinicians provide one on one therapy that targets your child’s speech and language goals. Home activities will be provided as parental involvement is a key factor to successful therapy.
Treatment
​
Therapy is a collaborative process. Including other individuals within your child’s circle of care helps support your child’s learning outside of the therapy environment. This may include the following: daycare or preschool services, additional family members or caregivers and/or other service professionals.
Consultation
​
We offer workshops geared towards educating caregivers about speech and language milestones as well as providing strategies to promote language development.
Parent training sessions are also available.
