Services

Individualized One to One treatment sessions that focus on the child’s strengths and needs.  Families are encouraged to be a part of the journey with their child by collaborating with Jennifer to build home programs to promote carryover of learned skills into their daily lives with their families. 

Evidence-based therapy with practical, proven strategies from a Speech-language Pathologist

The speech-language pathologist will interact, “play” with the child in purpose and goal driven “play” to make the skills relevant to their interests. The clinician will discuss the skills and strategies used in the sessions to help the parent use the same techniques at home to promote continued learning in their daily lives. In early language development, children learn language through everyday experiences, many of which are developed through play. Play allows for children to to choose toys and games that are enjoyable for them, thus they ar more motivated and engaged, which leads to great outcomes.
