FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Speech Therapy Services
What is the philosophy behind your specialized Neurodiversity Affirming Care approach?
Our Neurodiversity Affirming Care approach is an essential reflection of our core mission, "Connection over Compliance". The philosophy rests on recognizing and respecting neurodiversity (including Autism) as a natural variation of the human brain, not a pathology or deficit to be "fixed." Our work centers on empowering neurodivergent learners to communicate in ways that are authentic, respectful, and self-directed. This means we spend less time on forced behaviors and more time building genuine trust and competence through respectful methodologies, such as Gestalt Processing Care and the Total Communication Approach. We aim to ensure that every client learns effective communication skills that honor their individual needs, values, and emotions, helping them overcome issues caused by disorders while celebrating their unique individuality.
How are Adult Cognition-Based Therapy services structured, and who are they designed to help?
Our Adult Cognition-Based Therapy is specifically structured to create a dedicated pathway for the adult audience, clearly stating that our practice extends our specialized expertise beyond pediatrics. These services are designed for adults who are self-motivated and independently seeking solutions for their own cognitive and communication challenges. The therapy focuses on cognition-based strategies to address communication hindrances and develop effective coping mechanisms for daily living. Our goal is to provide professional and effective treatment tailored to the specific needs and goals of adults. We understand that this audience may face challenges finding relatable support in a market that often focuses on children, so we ensure our adult clients receive a smooth, professional, and communicative process tailored to their circumstances.
What is the role of Augmentative and Assistive Communication (AAC) in your practice?
Augmentative and Assistive Communication (AAC) Therapy plays a crucial role in our commitment to the Total Communication Approach and in supporting children who are nonverbal or minimally verbal. For clients who experience urgent communication gaps, AAC provides essential tools and strategies for effective total communication. Our specialists are trained to assess clients' needs and implement AAC devices, ensuring they can actively participate in their environment and express their needs, wants, and personalities. This technology and approach are crucial to ensuring that each child's full communication potential is realized. We prioritize empowering the client to communicate in authentic, respectful, and self-directed ways, providing a life-changing alternative for those who cannot rely on verbal speech alone.
