we are growing and need more amazing therapists to help us serve our families

When we say we are ‘family-first’, we mean it…even if it slows everything down 💙🤍💗

We are back in the office! Our staff has been reaching out to all those scheduled tomorrow!

If you have had to miss therapy this week due to all of the chaos Debbie brought our way, text us to get a makeup appointment this week!

Unfortunately, we are going to remain closed through tomorrow. We miss you all so much, but the safety of our patients and staff is our top priority.

We will call you as soon as we get back to the office to reschedule your appointments. Stay safe and dry ☔️

Due to the extreme rains predicted, our office will close tomorrow.

Please monitor social media for updates about Wednesday appointments.

Everyone stay safe 🤍

We are closely watching the tropical storm 🌀

If you want to play it safe and cancel your Tuesday appointment, that is totally understandable!

We have heard all too many times the fear, sensory-overload, and challenges sitting still, all make for a rather traumatizing experience for parents and the child. We are thrilled to partner with Rebecca to offer this service on July 26th (just in time for those back to school cuts).

This service is designed to create a calming, low-stimulating environment. Rebecca and one of our sensory-specialists will be able to provide loving, 2:1 attention to give your child everything they need during this time.

‘Tis the season of certifications 📚 We are so proud of Mrs. Rachel’s newest certification in NLA (Natural Language Acquisition).

There are two typical ways to acquire language; analytic and gestalt. Analytic acquisition is the ‘more typical’ frame work in which we see children leaning single words (car, dog, mama, etc.) and then combining these words to form eventually form sentences.

A language processing (GLP) is a model of language development that starts with memorizing whole phrases and then moves on to individual words. GLP is based on the idea that information is processed as a whole, rather than as a sum of its parts. For example, a child with GLP might think of “I’ll be back” as a single chunk, rather than recognizing the individual words that make it up. These chunks are sometimes called “echolalia” or “scripts”.

Mrs. Rachel has been blowing our minds with new ways to address GLP in treatment. 💥 We can’t wait to see her put her this amazing knowledge to use!

These guys did us proud at the Pull for Kids. It was full of fun and fellowship!
