Counseling and Behavioral Therapy
Family Focused Solutions
Complex developmental disorders often include complex behavior that impacts the entire family. Our licensed clinical social worker meets with families in their home or at the clinic to discuss concerns and solutions related to behavior struggles and coping skills. Family focused treatment plans are designed, taught and supported to ensure successful behavior across a variety of settings.
Professional development & Parent Education
Professional Development
We have presented at state, national and international conventions on various topics related to language development, disorders, and augmentative-alternative communication.
As much as we love the big conventions, we are most happy when we can collaborate and provide specialized professional development to local schools, daycares, parent organizations and families.
