Speech Therapy
Neurodiversity-Affirming Practices Our speech and language pathologists (SLPs) prioritize neurodiversity-affirming care by acknowledging and valuing the unique communication styles of neurodivergent individuals, including those with autism and developmental language disorders. We see communication as a dynamic, shared achievement and tailor interventions to each individual’s environment, interests, and strengths. This approach challenges traditional, deficit-based models, empowering clients to thrive on their own terms.
Child-Led Play: We follow the child’s interests, using their favorite activities and toys to create a safe, engaging environment where communication can flourish.
Strengths-Based Approach: Instead of focusing on deficits, we build on each child’s natural abilities, encouraging confidence and self-expression.
Sensory-Friendly Environment: Our sessions are tailored to accommodate sensory needs, ensuring children feel comfortable and supported.
Collaborative Learning: We work closely with families, empowering caregivers to carry over strategies into everyday interactions
Play-Based, Client-Led Interventions Play is at the heart of our therapy. Whether it's through imaginative play, storytelling, gaming, or using favorite toys, our interventions provide natural, engaging opportunities to build communication skills in ways that feel fun and meaningful. These activities allow children to explore and express themselves authentically, free from the pressure of rigid benchmarks, while fostering confidence and joy in communication.
Comprehensive and Inclusive Care Our team collaborates with families, caregivers, and other providers to create a supportive, inclusive environment that nurtures each client’s growth. We also specialize in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) strategies, ensuring that everyone has access to tools that suit their unique needs. By educating families and community members, we help extend understanding and acceptance, creating a ripple effect of support.
