Our Therapy Services Are Designed to Support Growth and Independence
Evaluation Services that Identify Strengths and Needs
Our speech and language evaluation process looks closely at communication skills, daily functioning, and developmental milestones to identify both strengths and areas where support is needed. We also determine whether our patients would benefit from occupational therapy as a supporting factor for the development of speech and language skills. These insights allow us to create a customized plan that guides progress and ensures therapy is meaningful and effective from an interdisciplinary lens.
Speech and Language Therapy that Improves Communication
Our licensed speech-language pathologists provide individualized speech-language therapy for toddlers, children, teens, and adults. Sessions target areas including articulation, auditory comprehension, fluency, receptive language, expressive language, and social communication. By addressing each person’s unique needs, we help clients build confidence in expressing themselves in various settings, including at home, school, work, and the community.
Group Therapy that Builds Social Connections
Our group speech and language therapy sessions allow children and adults to interact with peers, develop social skills, and strengthen confidence in a supportive environment. These sessions are designed to foster teamwork, encourage conversation, and promote problem-solving, while reducing feelings of isolation. Participants practice learned skills from individual therapy sessions in a supportive group environment.
Social Skills Made Stronger- Play and Connect
Our licensed speech-language pathologists provide social skills therapy to help children and teens build social communication skills by practicing conversation turn-taking, understanding body language and facial expressions, using personal space appropriately, and developing friendships. Through play-based activities, role-playing, and guided practice, our therapists create real-life opportunities for clients to build their confidence and achieve success in social situations.
Occupational Therapy that Enhances Everyday Living Skills
Our licensed occupational therapists work with clients to improve motor skills, coordination, and sensory processing. For children, this might mean helping with handwriting, self-care routines, or regulating emotions through play and movement. For adults, it may involve regaining skills after an injury, managing challenges associated with a disability, or adapting to changes caused by an illness.
