We are nonjudgmental and will treat your child with great care and respect. Once your child is evaluated and therapy is deemed necessary, they will receive therapy and you or their caregiver will be educated on strategies and supports to be implemented at home and/or in the community. We are available to answer questions and encourage parent participation in sessions for education and parent practice. The duration and frequency of sessions will be mutually decided upon dependent upon your child’s endurance and alertness for 30 or 60 minute sessions.
Helping your child develop their communication skills is a team effort and caregivers are the first and foremost advocate. We support working together!

Children develop sounds at varying rates. However, speech sound development can be tracked as children gain words in their daily routines and interactions. View a development chart here…
Sign language is not necessary but is a strategy used to facilitate language growth and understanding. Some children respond more often when visual cues are coupled with the spoken word. Sign language can support communication and reduce frustration when infants and toddlers are learning how to express themselves. Parent friendly sign language programs can be found online, on DVDs and mobile apps.
