Helping children reach their potential
EARLY INTERVENTION
Is your child not yet talking?
Early intervention is a type of therapy designed to target and treat children under the age of 3 who demonstrate delays of speech, language, and/or feeding.
​
A child may be a good candidate for early intervention if they are not meeting early speech, language, and/or feeding milestones.
SPEECH THERAPY
Does your child struggle to say certain sounds correctly? Does he/she struggle to be understood?
Speech therapy helps children to speak more clearly and be understood by others. Speech therapy can help reduce frustration caused by communication breakdowns and increase a child’s confidence. Ensuring that a child can properly produce all sounds will help them with both speech and reading.
LANGUAGE THERAPY
Does your child struggle to learn new words, use proper grammar, read, and/or understand directions?
Language therapy helps children who struggle to understand language and/or use language to express themselves. This form of therapy can increase a child’s ability to understand and follow directions, learn new words, comprehend spoken and written language, use proper grammar, and access information.
FLUENCY THERAPY
Does your child stutter?
Fluency Therapy facilitates more fluent speech in children affected by stuttering and/or cluttering disorders. These children can learn skills that will allow them to speak more fluently and more confidently.
SOCIAL SKILLS THERAPY
Is your child uncomfortable in social situations?
Some children may find it difficult to communicate with others due to the complex and unspoken rules of social situations. They may struggle to appropriately start or maintain a conversation, ask questions, or interpret body language. Social skills therapy teaches children how to navigate the social situations they experience in everyday life.
FEEDING THERAPY
Is your child an abnormally picky eater?
The goal of feeding therapy is to help children be adventurous, happy eaters. Feeding therapy can help children learn self-feeding skills such as chewing food properly, using utensils, and drinking from an open cup. It can also help children who eat a very limited number of foods and demonstrate difficulty tolerating specific textures, flavors, and/or other sensory features of food.
