Therapy With Us
An Evaluation is conducted prior to any treatment sessions. Evaluation findings help to determine what type of therapy will be conducted, how frequently therapy is needed, and will establish unique goals for each individual based on Testing Results.
Articulation and Phonological Disorders
Articulation Disorders involve the incorrect pronunciation of speech sounds. Sounds can be substituted, left off, or changed. Phonological Disorders involve the difficulty in learning and organizing the sound patterns needed for clear speech, reading and spelling.
Apraxia of Speech (Adult and Childhood)
A motor speech disorder in which a person has trouble saying what he or she wants to say correctly and consistently. It is not due to weakness or paralysis of the speech muscles (the muscles of the face, tongue, and lips).
Auditory Processing Disorders (APD)
Also known as Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) is an umbrella term for a variety of disorders that affect the way the brain processes auditory information. It is not a sensory (inner ear) hearing impairment. Individuals with APD usually have normal peripheral hearing ability. However, they cannot process the information they hear in the same way as others do, which leads to difficulties in recognizing and interpreting sounds, especially the sounds composing speech.
Autism/ Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)
Autism is a neurological disorder that can impair communication, socialization and behavior. It is usually diagnosed within the first three years of life and is four times more common in boys than in girls.
Dysphagia/ Swallowing Disorders
It is a sensation that suggests difficulty in the passage of solids or liquids from the mouth to the stomach.
Cleft Lip and Palate
A cleft lip and palate can affect the appearance of one’s face, and may lead to problems with feeding and speech, as well as ear infections. Problems may range from a small notch in the lip to a complete groove that runs into the roof of the mouth and nose. These features may occur separately or together.
Fluency and Stuttering Disorders
Refers to the difficulty producing fluent speech. Symptoms can include: sound and syllable repetitions, prolongations, interjections or words produced with an excess of tension.
Language Disorders
Refers to communication through the use of words or other symbol systems. An individual who has a language disorder may have difficulty with grammar, vocabulary, and other aspects of language. People with language disorders often have difficulty sequencing ideas, describing events accurately, and using language effectively to convey meaning.
Strokes and Cerebral Vascular Accidents (CVA)
CVA is the rapidly developing loss of brain function(s) due to disturbance in the blood supply to the brain. As a result, the affected area of the brain is unable to function, leading to inability to move one or more limbs on one side of the body, ability to understand or formulate speech, or an inability to see one side of the visual field.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Traumatic brain injury (TBI), a form of acquired brain injury, occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain. TBI can cause a wide range of changes affecting thinking, sensation, language, or emotions.
