Services

  • Speech Therapy

    Speech and language therapy helps individuals develop and improve their communication skills, including speech clarity, language understanding, and social interaction. Therapists use personalized techniques and exercises to address challenges such as articulation disorders, language delays, and pragmatic difficulties. The goal is to enhance effective communication, boost confidence, and support overall academic and social success.

  • Myofunctional Therapy

    Myofunctional therapy focuses on correcting the function of the oral and facial muscles to improve breathing, speech, and swallowing, including issues related to tongue ties. It involves exercises and techniques to address issues like tongue posture, mouth breathing, and improper swallowing patterns. By retraining these muscles, myofunctional therapy aims to enhance overall oral health and support proper development and function.

  • Safe Sound Protocol

    The Safe Sound Protocol (SSP) is a therapeutic program designed to improve auditory processing and emotional regulation by using specially filtered music. It aims to reduce stress, enhance social engagement, and promote a sense of safety by retraining the brain's response to sound. Through a series of listening sessions, the SSP helps individuals develop better communication skills and emotional resilience.

  • IEP Consultations

    An Individualized Education Program (IEP) consultation is a collaborative process designed to empower parents and caregivers in advocating for the educational needs of their child. If your child has been identified as having special education needs, whether related to speech and language, learning disabilities, developmental delays, or other challenges, participating in an IEP consultation is an essential step in ensuring they receive the support they require to thrive academically.

  • Early Intervention

    Early intervention speech-language therapy is a proactive approach to addressing speech and language challenges in young children.

    The goal of early intervention is to identify and address speech and language issues as soon as possible, typically starting from infancy to around three years old. During this critical developmental period, children's brains are highly receptive to learning and can make significant progress with the right support.


  • Caregiver Coaching

    Caregiver coaching involves guiding and supporting parents or guardians to enhance their child’s communication skills at home. This approach provides caregivers with strategies, activities, and tools to reinforce therapy goals and foster a supportive environment for their child’s development. By equipping caregivers with practical techniques and ongoing support, the therapy becomes more effective and integrated into the child’s daily life.
