Evaluations
We start by taking time to thoroughly evaluate your child's communication and motor skills. In order to understand your child's unique strengths and challenges, we typically collect information using a combination of the following methods:
-
Parent and teacher interviews
-
Clinical observations
-
Informal assessments
-
Standardized tests
Once the evaluation is complete, we will provide you with a written report of our findings and discuss our recommendations. If therapy is warranted, we will work together to create meaningful therapy goals and a plan of care!
Therapy
Once we have a therapy plan, the fun begins! In our first few sessions, we focus on building rapport and discovering what motivates your child so that we can help them enjoy the therapeutic process. Session activities may include:
-
Child-led play
-
Movement activities
-
Singing and dancing
-
Targeted therapy tasks
Home practice is always given to help your child carry over new skills to environments outside of the therapy room... That is why even our youngest clients get "homework!" Examples of homework might be: signing "more" to request snacks or using a visual schedule to help complete tasks and transition.
