Language and communication skills are formed early in the development process and the sooner we can provide interventions and strengthen these abilities the easier it will be. The earlier I can diagnose and provide interventions, the better and often the quicker the outcome.

Speaking their language.

Children have less tools available to them and have an even more difficult time expressing themselves. Unfortunately this often can create challenges with behavior that limit their connection, voice and experience. I work to meet your child on their level.

Our Approach

In working with children, I believe it is more important than ever to make the work feel fun. I strive to limit frustration and will always adjust to the attitude and behavior of the child. By aligning the child’s desires to the goals of therapy, we create natural motivation and achieve progress faster. A typical session will include:

Depending on the child and their needs, we love to integrate parents into the experience.

First the work

We do exercises and share strategies and tools that target your goals and needs.

Then play

We do activities that incorporate the need for communication based on the interests of your child.

Parent conversation

At the end of every session we provide time for consulting with the parent and share home exercise so you can continue progress between sessions.
