Five Categories For Therapy:

 

Pediatric (less than six years old): Intervention is delivered how children learn best: at play! Play-based assessment and therapy is child-directed and clinician-adapted, so work gets done while having fun. Pre-academic skills (including letter/sound recognition, early literacy skills, etc.) are introduced.

School-aged (approximately 6-13 years old): Intervention incorporates academically-relevant material and activities and drills.

Young adult (approximately 14-21 years old): Intervention focuses on academic and meaningful, real-world materials and information, and aims to build independence and positive self-esteem.

Adult (approximately 21 years and over): Intervention provides the opportunity to gain new skills, regain lost abilities, and fine-tune current abilities. The client is actively involved in developing meaningful therapy activities and materials in order to maximize therapeutic benefit.

Group therapy and classes: Intervention in groups of two to three clients is available for those interested in moving beyond individual therapy, and for those whom communication partners would make therapy more practical. Clients are paired or grouped based on their ages, abilities, and areas of need. Classes of four to five clients may also be organized to work on particular topics, such as conversational skills and pragmatics.
