Learn more about where we specialize:
Handwriting
Illegible Handwriting could be a combination of a weak muscle strength, poor endurance, incoordination, and poor motor control.
Sensory Integration
Sensory integration is about how our brain receives and processes sensory information so that we can do the things we need to do in our everyday life.
Fine Motor Strength and Coordination
Fine motor skills involve use of the small muscles in the hands. These include skills such as: grasping objects, writing, cutting with scissors, shoe-tying, and fastening buttons.
Visual Motor and Visual Perception
Visual perceptual skills enable a child to make sense of and interpret what they are seeing. These skills include: Visual discrimination - matching two objects that are the same. … Visual closure - the ability to identify two objects that are the same even if part of one is missing.
Body Awareness
Body awareness is the ability to recognize where your body is in space. … Sometimes, if people have difficulties with body awareness they may appear clumsy, uncoordinated or have delays in motor skill development.
Pediatric Speech and Language Evaluations
A comprehensive evaluation of a child’s speech and language skills. An age equivalent score and/or a standard score is obtained to determine if a child has a delay in a specific area.
Receptive And Expressive Language Delays
Problems with understanding language are called receptive language disorders. Problems with talking/communicating are called expressive language disorders. Children may have problems with both.
Articulation
Most children make some mistakes as they learn to say new words. Every sound has a different range of ages when the child should make the sound correctly. Speech sound disorders include problems with articulation (making sounds) and phonological processes (sound patterns).
Apraxia
Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a motor speech disorder. The child knows what he or she wants to say, but his/her brain has difficulty coordinating the muscle movements necessary to say those words.
Auditory Processing Disorders
Children with APD may have difficulty understanding speech in noisy environments, following directions, and discriminating similar-sounding speech sounds. Sometimes they may behave as if a hearing loss is present, often asking for repetition or clarification.
Pragmatic Disorders
Children with pragmatic language difficulties may have trouble relating information and/or stories or may say inappropriate or off topic things during conversation. This may lead to difficulties making friends and engaging in social situations.
