Language Therapy
Language therapy focuses on developing both receptive and expressive language skills, encompassing a broad range of abilities. Key areas include vocabulary expansion, grammar and syntax, language comprehension, direction-following, language processing, answering questions, enhancing sentence length and complexity, and improving conversational skills.
This comprehensive approach supports effective communication and language development across various contexts.
Oral-Motor/Articulation
Therapy
Oral-Motor and Articulation Therapy focuses on correcting sound distortions, such as tongue thrusts and difficult sounds like “R.” Therapy is tailored to each client’s needs and may include traditional articulation methods, P.R.O.M.P.T. techniques, oral-motor exercises, or a combination of these approaches to ensure effective outcomes.
Reading Sessions
Our reading sessions are grounded in the Orton-Gillingham method, a highly effective, research-based approach tailored to support individuals with reading challenges, including dyslexia. Each session emphasizes foundational skills such as phonics, phonological awareness, and decoding, helping students to accurately recognize and produce sounds within words.
Additionally, we address encoding (spelling), fluency, and reading comprehension to build strong, well-rounded literacy skills. This structured, multisensory approach is designed to engage students actively, reinforcing their skills and confidence with each session.
Writing Sessions
Our writing sessions utilize the Writing Revolution (The Judith Hochman Method), a proven approach to developing strong writing skills. Through this method, students learn foundational elements such as sentence and paragraph construction, outlining, and effective quote integration with proper citation.
As students progress, they apply these skills toward crafting well-structured, cohesive essays. This approach not only enhances technical writing abilities but also strengthens critical thinking and clarity of expression, equipping students with essential tools for academic success.
