Approach

Effective therapy starts with positive connection. We typically begin by performing an evaluation using a variety of assessment tools. Then we create therapy plans and goals, regularly assess them, and provide clear documentation to parents along the way. We recommend home exercises to enable continued progress in between visits. We also consult and collaborate with other team members, including primary care providers, specialists, other therapists, educators, etc.

Therapist credentials

Our speech therapists have MAs in communication disorders or speech language pathology and C.C.C. from ASHA.They are CPR and First Aid Certified.

“I experience the same joy that parents feel when their child reaches milestones.”
“Being a Speech-Language Pathologist in early intervention is extremely fulfilling. Assisting parents by offering them the tools required to help their child reach their full potential and then seeing that child's excitement as we celebrate his/her success is immensely gratifying. I am fortunate enough to experience the same joy that parents feel when their child reaches milestones such as saying his/her first word or labeling a new object.”
