SPEECH & LANGUAGE THERAPY

Your child's ability to functionally communicate wants, needs, thoughts and ideas in an efficient, effective and age-appropriate manner is critical to her or his happiness and success. Maladaptive or negative behaviors can develop as an attempted replacement for appropriate verbal and nonverbal communication should functional communication remain unsupported. Thrive Therapy provides assessments and treatment for establishment of functional and age-appropriate verbal, nonverbal, and alternative/augmentative communication skills. This includes identification of your child's strengths and use of those strengths to address any speech/language/communication needs. These could include limited expressive communication/verbal speech, delayed or disordered speech sound production, reduced ability to comprehend language for use in the home and academic settings, fluency of spoken language and more.
