2. Comprehensive Speech-Language Evaluations
Our comprehensive evaluations include direct time
assessing your child’s specific communicative strengths
and weaknesses. We use state of the art diagnostic
materials, including leading standardized assessments, to
provide you with a detailed analysis of your child’s skills.
Speech-Language/Social Skill Treatment Sessions
All treatment sessions are conducted in one of our
specially designed therapy rooms. Sessions include
structured activities designed to improve communication
skills in a natural and supportive way with parent contact
and consultation to help children master and generalize
learned skills. We use engaging materials and progress is
measured each session to ensure optimal outcomes.
Augmentative/Alternative Communication
We offer evaluation and treatment of children using
various Augmentative/Alternative Communication (AAC)
systems, both low-tech and advanced. Therapists are
trained in the Picture Exchange Communication System
(PECS) and have experience working with programming
and therapy on DynaVox, Prentke Romich, ProloQuo2Go,
NOVA chat, and other device options.
Feeding Evaluations and Treatment
We offer a gentle, sensory-based feeding approach, based
on tenants of the Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) Program
developed by Kay Toomey. This involves gradual
introduction of new foods based on foods your child is
already eating, and follows a progression of sensory steps
used to desensitize your child to new tastes and
textures. We also offer a behaviorally based feeding
program, which incorporates evidence-based features of
Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA).
