Speech therapists work on a variety of communication and speech-related issues. Some of the areas we focus on include articulation (speech sounds), fluency, voice, language (understanding and use), social communication, and cognitive-communication.
At Skyrocket, we pride ourselves in ensuring all of our services are:
Family Centered
Our family-centered approach to speech therapy recognizes that the family plays a critical role in a child's communication and involves them in the entire therapy process. The therapist works with the family to identify goals and develop strategies that can be used at home to support the child's progress. This approach can help to ensure that the child receives consistent support and encouragement, which can be essential for success in speech therapy. By working together, the family and therapist can help the child to achieve their communication goals and improve their overall quality of life.
Individualized
Individualized speech therapy is crucial because every person has unique communication needs. Tailoring therapy to each individual's specific needs and goals can lead to more effective and efficient progress. It allows for a personalized approach that addresses the root of the communication and helps individuals achieve their potential.
Play-Based
Play-based speech therapy is an effective way to engage children in their language development. By incorporating play into therapy sessions, children are more likely to stay focused and motivated, leading to better outcomes. Play also allows for natural communication opportunities, which can help children generalize their skills to real-life situations. Play-based therapy can make speech therapy a fun and enjoyable experience for children, while also promoting their language development.
Functional
It's important for speech therapy goals to be functional and focus on improving communication skills that are relevant to the child's daily life. Functional goals help the child to communicate more effectively in real-life situations, such as at home, school, or social events.
