Here’s how we can help…

Speech Therapy

My team and I have extensive experience treating individuals with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMD), speech delay, and speech sound disorders. We specialize in therapeutic techniques including: NDT, OPT, PROMPT, DTTC, Beckman Oral Motor, Manual Therapy for Voice and Swallowing, Sensory Point Taping.

Language Therapy

We provide a wide range of Language intervention ranging from beginning language acquisition to higher level language. Within this spectrum some examples of targeted areas include: vocabulary development, understanding and use of a wide range of sentence structures, language organization, verbal reasoning, and social pragmatic language. When appropriate we customize AAC use to each individual’s language level needs. When targeting language needs we prioritize careful programming and carryover between speech and language needs. We utilize a functional approach and embed therapeutic strategies to minimize prompt dependence and foster independent use of language.

Social Groups/Dyads

Some individuals require opportunities to generalize speech and language skills to their peers and siblings. Some require support in using their language to build social connections. We provide those opportunities while carefully pairing individuals with similar language levels.

 

Myofunctional Therapy

We use myofunctional and oral motor techniques to address functional impacts of oral habits, tethered oral tissues, oral resting posture, mouth breathing, tongue thrust etc… We work closely with other necessary providers including ENTs, Orthodontists, Dentists, and CranioSacral Therapists.

Feeding Therapy

Feeding difficulties can encompass a variety of challenges including, sensory-motor-based function, allergies, GERD, ARFID, and more. We specialize in motor-based difficulties to improve motor function for safe and nutritive feeding and swallowing.

Comprehensive Evaluations/ Screenings/ Consultation

We provide comprehensive private evaluations, independent school-based evaluations and screenings in the areas of oral motor function, myofunctional skills, feeding skills, motor speech production, expressive language, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), receptive language, and social pragmatic language.
