Individual & Small Group
Speech Therapy Sessions
Individual and group therapy sessions will last 45 minutes to an hour on a weekly basis, depending on the client’s specific needs and profile. We will work on specific skills related to the needs of the individual such as social skills (e.g., friendships, dating, social safety, nonverbal language, and self-advocacy), independent living skills (e.g., budgeting, cooking, cleaning), executive functioning (time management, planning and prioritizing, making and keeping appointments), and college/career planning and development.
Consultations with other professionals in the client's team will be offered to ensure overall individual success.

Cognitive Remediation Therapy
If you or your loved one are experiencing any difficulties in the areas of executive functioning, memory, social-cognition, attention, language, or visuospatial skills, a cognitive-communication evaluation is recommended. These areas can be impaired due to a Brain Injury, Stroke, Concussion, COVID-19 or Dementia. A Cognitive-Communication Evaluation identifies strengths and weakness in the cognitive areas.
Depending on your needs, cognitive remediation therapy may help you:
-
improve speech to make it clearer;
-
express thoughts more effectively;
-
better understand what you read;
-
improve attention during daily tasks and activities;
-
Improve memory using tools like memory books, calendars, and to-do lists;
-
improve problem-solving, planning, and organization skills;
-
work on social skills, such as reading social cues and taking turns in conversation
