we help children communicate
method & values
No two humans are the same. Not even identical twins! No two therapy sessions will be the same either. Your child will work on goals that are specific to his/her needs. Therapy sessions will be tailored to fit your child’s ability to stay engaged, motivated and productive. Therefore, sessions vary in length and structure according to your child’s age, needs and goals.
We value the importance of communication. Not only do we want to improve your child’s communication skills, but we also want to clearly communicate with you. After every therapy session, you can expect to get written notes on your child’s progress as well as ideas of things to work on until your next session.
