Speech Therapy |
Occupational Therapy |
We provide speech-language therapy services in a play-based, sensory friendly environment. Our Speech-Language Pathologists are trained to evaluate and treat children who have speech, language, social, and feeding disorders. Our goal is to work with each family to help their child become successful in all aspects of life.
Feeding Therapy
Our therapeutic feeding program addresses both sensory and oral-motor deficits that can lead to feeding difficulties. We believe in treating the child as a whole, taking into account the specific needs of each client and his/her family.
Reading Readiness
Reading readiness is a comprehensive curriculum for students who have completed kindergarten or first grade and is Orton-Gillingham based. Multisensory teaching includes sight, sound, movement, and touch to help students connect speech sounds and language to letters and written words. Direct, systematic, and diagnostic instruction is utilized to focus on letter recognition, phonics, handwriting, spelling, oral language, and listening comprehension to help students grow into strong readers and writers.

The focus of our pediatric occupational therapy intervention is to assist children in responding to everyday challenges in an adaptive and functional manner across all environments. Our licensed occupational therapists are trained to evaluate motor development and sensory processing to determine why a child may be having difficulty with various performance areas such as fine motor, gross motor, self-care, socialization, and play skills. Our therapists practice using a play-based, child-directed approach which makes learning fun!
CBIT Therapy
Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics, also known as CBIT, is a non-medicated treatment option for children with Tic Disorder or Tourette Syndrome. CBIT offers various strategies to help a child learn to manage their bothersome tics, in order to increase their overall functioning and quality of life.
