Specialized Therapies
- PROMPT Trained - PROMPT therapy is appropriate for a wide range of patients with communication disorders. The most common patients have motor speech disorders, articulation problems or are non-verbal children. Many patients with aphasia, apraxia/dyspraxia, dysarthria, pervasive development disorders, cerebral palsy, acquired brain injuries and autism spectrum disorders have benefitted from PROMPT therapy.
- PECS Trained - Picture Exchange Communication System
Some children just need a little extra help to catch up, or they have one area of development that they are working on and speech and language skills emerge slower than that of their peers. We would love to work with you to determine where your child is developmentally and further their skills to make them more successful at home, school or in the community.
