Screenings
The first step toward better communication is to detect any communication difficulties that might require more in-depth evaluation.
Evaluation
An extensive assessment of an individual’s speech, language, communication, and swallowing abilities will reveal strengths and weakness and leads to the creation of an effective intervention plan.
Treatment
Therapy with TALK providers is tailored to your unique needs and goals in a comfortable environment that is interactive and fun.
Consultation Services
We collaborate with teachers, psychologists, counselors, vocational coaches, and healthcare/rehabilitative professionals. This team approach allows us to develop and integrate programs and monitor their progress across settings such as daycare, schools, vocational settings, and medical facilities.
Guidance and Instruction
TALK therapists counsel individuals and families about communication development and disorders. We can help with the stress and misunderstanding that often come with communication disorders. We teach individuals and families to spot and change patterns that may slow communication and treatment progress, and we develop communication techniques you can use at home.
Bio
In our group practice, we provide effective therapy for communication challenges for both children and adults.
