OUR MISSION:
Our Mission, as Speech Language Pathologists, is to offer highly skilled and specific assessment and intervention to children of all ages. We believe that intervention will only be successful when a child’s individual profile is understood and exact strengths and areas of challenges are identified. Our SLPs will individualize their approach to support your child in reaching their highest potential and being able to be part of a loving relationship with caregivers and become an engaged and joyful communicator in their daily lives from home to school and beyond.
THE PROCESS:
After an in depth call, our SLPs will provide your child with a detailed plan and referrals to additional specialists as necessary. Our SLPs are DIR/Floortime Expert Training Leaders who will use a Floortime approach that follows the child’s interest, keeps relationship in mind and uses an engaging and motivating, developmental approach to boost your child’s speech and language acquisition skills. Our therapists understand the connection between the body and language and will always incorporate focused movement into sessions. The foundation of all sessions will be creating a space of safety for you and your child where they are supported in reaching their highest capacity. All sessions are highly multi-sensory, and utilize a combination of movement based activities and engaging interactions that will support their language development. Our SLPs work very closely with our OTs and PTs and will work to integrate your child’s whole body by incorporating movement, fine motor, gross motor, auditory and visual perceptual tasks, within speech and language activities while thinking about their sense of safety and connection.
OUR PHILOSOPHY:
As Speech Language Pathologists, we observe that children’s communication skills begin at birth and last for a lifetime. A child’s ability to express his or her thoughts and ideas starts well before the use of spoken words. Our comprehensive Speech & Language Evaluation will provide you with an overall picture of your child’s current communication abilities in terms of strengths and areas of challenges. During this time we will gather a detailed background and family history, establish rapport with your child, gather a language sample, and possibly administer standardized testing.
​
This approach provides us with valuable information regarding your child’s everyday communication skills including clarity of speech, fluency, voice, vocabulary and word-finding, receptive & expressive language, auditory processing, speech articulation skills, as well as social-pragmatic language skills. Additional, or more in depth testing, can also include phonological processing and phonics, language processing, reading comprehension, written expression, narrative formulation and executive functioning skills.
