Therapy
Each client receives individualized treatment tailored around their communication goals. All aspects of the client’s life are considered when goals are set and treatment is delivered. Treatment is a collaborative effort between the clinician and client and when appropriate, can also include the client’s family, school, and other treating professionals (e.g. physical therapist, occupational therapist, teacher, physician).
Screenings
Communication screenings are a quick and efficient way to determine whether more in-depth assessment is necessary. They typically take ~15 minutes to administer and at times can be done via Telehealth depending on the age of the client. A one-page summary of findings may be provided.
Diagnostic Testing
Communication assessments are an in-depth analysis of a person’s total communication including expressive/receptive language and speech clarity. The length of the assessment varies and is dependent on the client’s needs. A summary of findings is included with every assessment.
Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.
