Unlocking Communication with Spark Speech
Successful communication and speech are not one-size-fits-all. For many children with autism or other developmental delays, speech therapy is a life-changing tool that enhances communication and builds confidence through expression. Under the care of our licensed, ASHA-certified Speech-Language Pathologists, we’ll develop a comprehensive speech therapy plan that blends proven techniques with a fun and engaging approach.
What we work on
Communication is one of the most important skills your child will ever learn — and isn’t limited to verbal speech. To help develop this crucial and diverse skill set, our SLP creates an extensive speech and language plan that reflects your child’s inherent strengths and motivations. Each treatment plan is unique, specific to their developmental goals, and built to be engaging and fun.
Speech therapy helps with:
- Pragmatic Language
- Articulation and Phonology
- Apraxia and other Speech Motor Disorders
- Receptive Language
- Expressive Language
- Feeding
Building Positive Mealtime Experiences
Feeding difficulties are common among children with developmental delays and can impact their nutrition and overall well-being. Feeding therapy is crucial for children with eating challenges, whether they involve the mechanics of eating (like chewing and swallowing) or sensory aversions to certain textures and tastes. Our collaborative team is comprised of professionals certified with the Pediatric Feeding Institute and the SOS approach to feeding, ensuring that we address all aspects of feeding challenges to promote your child’s overall development and make mealtimes more manageable and enjoyable for your child and family. Our SLPs use specialized techniques to help children with difficulties in oral motor skills, swallowing, and expanding limited diets.
Crafting Communication: Personalized Speech Programs
Our SLPs collaborate closely with ABA therapists to ensure a comprehensive and cohesive approach to your child’s development. Our collaborative approach helps us tailor our programs to the exact needs of every child. By incorporating speech therapy into your child’s ABA therapy schedule, we create a holistic program that addresses communication and feeding challenges within the context of their daily therapeutic activities. This integrated approach helps reinforce learning and makes therapy a natural part of their day.
For families who prefer a dedicated focus on speech and feeding therapy, we offer regularly scheduled sessions that are tailored to your child’s specific needs and goals, ensuring they receive the individualized attention necessary for their progress. Our SLPs work closely with your child to develop their communication skills and address feeding difficulties in a supportive and engaging environment.
Whether you choose to integrate speech therapy into your child’s ABA therapy day or opt for individually scheduled sessions, our goal remains the same: to help your child develop essential communication skills, build confidence, and overcome any challenges they may face. We are committed to providing the highest quality care and support to ensure your child’s success.
Our SLPs also collaborate closely with any private speech-language pathologists involved in your child’s care to ensure consistency and a seamless approach across all therapy settings. This teamwork ensures that every aspect of your child’s communication and feeding goals is aligned, creating a unified support system that maximizes progress.
