"Helping Children Achieve their Potential"
Programs & Services
"Speech therapy" is somewhat of a misnomer -
it's not just for children who talk late, don't talk enough or don't
pronounce words correctly. At the Achieve Center, we specialize in
treating speech and language disorders that are often difficult to
diagnose or treat. Our therapists are trained and highly skilled in the
assessment and treatment of speech and language development disorders,
including:
Therapy is goal-oriented and child-centered; we encourage the child to make decisions and select appropriate activities, but with structure provided by the speech/language pathologist. Specific therapeutic objectives might include: following and executing multi-step verbal directions, processing complex verbal information, remembering what was said, retelling a short story, planning and organizing what he or she wants to say, describing familiar procedures and words, and initiating language.
In all therapies, the child is challenged yet nurtured, with the goal being to achieve the highest level of successful communication of which he or she is capable.
