Services

Before therapy is begun, a child is tested to determine his or her specific problem. The evaluation includes:

     • Speech and Language Testing
     • Psychological Testing
     • Developmental Testing
     • Hearing Analysis
 
Staff reviews the test results and formulates a treatment plan. A conference is then held with the child's parents. If it is determined that the child's disability can be corrected, he or she is accepted into an individualized program. Parent observation is mandatory in the case of young children. Counseling is available through the Parent Support Group.
A trusting relationship is established with children who see the therapist on a one-to-one basis several times a week. Direct therapy focuses on the improvement of the communication disorder and ultimately the life-style of the family. A therapist may be working on behavior change, speech intelligibility, word finding activities, reading (decoding and comprehension), writing, and /or auditory understanding.
