A Two-Step Approach

Early diagnosis and treatment are important in improving children’s competence and confidence in all areas of development.  The sooner the children’s developmental delays are treated, the more likely they’ll be able to enter mainstream educational programs.

Our first step is to evaluate children’s development.  Our second step is treatment, if it’s determined that it’s needed.  Based on the test results, your input as parents, and observation of your child, we develop a treatment plan to meet each child’s specific needs.  This Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) for babies and toddlers or Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) for preschoolers uses the most appropriate forms of therapy from the wide variety available, such as:

• speech and language therapy

• applied behavior analysis (ABA)

• special education

• physical therapy

• occupational therapy

• feeding therapy

• nutritional counseling

• sensory integration training

• play therapy

• education of the visually & hearing impaired

• parent counseling
  

Working together, parents and professionals set goals for the children, monitor their progress, and modify the programs to fit their changing needs.  Transition planning helps children move to the next level.
