We all want the best for our children, particularly when it comes to fundamental speech, language, and communication. For many children, school is their initial contact, while a great resource, they typically don’t get consistent, individualized, and engaging care they need to effectively reach their full potential.
It’s All About Your Child
Speech therapy in a busy school environment is usually in a group setting. This lessens the individualized attention your child receives.
At Orlando’s First Words Speech Therapy, we make your child a star! They will receive one-on-one sessions with a dedicated licensed Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP). This enables your child’s therapists to create a exclusively tailored and highly specific plan to meet your child’s unique challenges. Quicker progress can be made with this more focused therapy.
Consistency For Progress That Lasts
Think about how difficult it would be to learn a new skill with lessons just a few hours a month. School based speech therapy can be infrequent due to high caseloads and scheduling demands.
Regular speech therapy sessions allows your child to build on what they have previous learned. Targeted and fun activities at weekly sessions helps maintain momentum which helps make significant strides towards the progress and communication goals.
Learning Through Play Based Activities
Many schools still rely on more traditional methods for speech therapy. This includes flashcards and worksheets. Unfortunately, this tends not to capture the full engagement of the child.
At First Words Speech Therapy, we revolutionized the process of learning. Holistic play based learning through an inspiring environment that is highly motivated. This enables a child to learn new skills that resonates with them and helps them reach their full potential.
Meaningful Involvement For Parents
It’s easy for parents to feel out of the loop with school based speech therapy. Here at First Words Speech Therapy we invite parents to become part of the team. This will help understand their progress, ask questions, and discuss strategies in their child’s speech therapy journey. It also empowers parents to practice therapy techniques at home.
