Time and PRT models, motor control, motor learning principles, craniosacral and myofacial releasing,
yoga and relaxation for children.

Our Speech-Language Pathologists help with the oral motor skills necessary for feeding and the elimination of tongue thrust. They facilitate the development of speech and voice as well as receptive and expressive language and social pragmatics and communication. They also perform AAC evaluations, analysis and treatment of Auditory processing, and Apraxia diagnosis and treatment.
