Speech-language therapy focuses on the child’s overall communication skills. This includes receptive language (how the child understands language), expressive language (how the child uses language), pragmatics (social language), articulation (how the child formulates sounds), and oral motor function (movement and function of tongue, lips, and jaw).
Occupational therapy is the therapeutic use of self-care, work, and play activities to increase independent function, enhance development, and prevent disability.
The occupational therapists assist the child in learning the skills necessary for living.
Concerns often addressed by occupational therapists include self-care skills (feeding, bathing, dressing), fine motor skills (hand skills and dexterity), neuromotor development, sensory integration, and play skills.
We offer psychoeducational assessments, which include administration of an aptitude and achievement test as well as any other measures deemed appropriate, in order to assess attention problems, learning differences, and learning disabilities. We also offer autism testing, using the Autism Diagnostic Evaluation Schedule.
