Attention Deficit Disorder should be addressed by a team of professionals.  A diagnosis must be made by a physician who will make recommendations concerning medication or other interventions.  Often, skills such as attention, memory, organization, time management and creative thinking are impacted and need to be created and developed in the child.  We will work together to find activities that your child enjoys and embed our therapy into them.  Your child is already frustrated enough, let’s work to make therapy a positive experience!

No matter if your child was diagnosed early or later in their development, the social pressures of school can make ASD more apparent.  Even if the symptoms are more mild, ASD takes a team effort to give your child the best chance of success.  Talk to me about connecting with other professionals to create a team, or I will happily integrate into the team you are building.

Articulation and phonological disorders are disorders of speech sounds.  Often a child has problems making sounds correctly due to not making the correct shapes with their mouth. If your child has difficulty pronouncing speech sounds correctly we will work together to help your child identify and then change the way they create the problem sounds, and then use the correct sound in their everyday life. 

Children with a receptive language disorder struggle to process speech.  They may ‘act up’ in school due to misunderstanding or just through frustration at not ‘getting it’.  Children with a developmental expressive language disorder experience difficulty expressing themselves. Vocabulary or grammar may be impacted.  Our job is to work with the school to provide the child both with compensatory strategies so they can be successful right now, as well as to address the skill deficits your child is showing.
