We take a child led therapy approach during all sessions. This means that we use your child's interests to indivualize therapy sessions and target language goals. After a comprehensive language evaluation, we can determine the nature of the language disorder. We treat late talkers, receptive/expressive language disorders, and support children who use scripting/echolalila to communicate. We are a neurodiversity affirming practice that is trained to help children move through the Natural Language Acquisition (NLA) stages.
We take a collaborative approach with dentists, pediatricians, and ENT's to provide the best possible care. OMT is based on the neuromuscular re-education or re-patterning of the oral and facial muscles, and includes facial exercises and behavior modification techniques to promote proper tongue position, improved breathing, chewing and swallowing.
