The Center is host to a variety of language programs designed to treat a wide range of communication delays and disorders. Individual and group therapy is tailored to meet the social and educational goals of the client and strongly encourages parent/family involvement. Language stimulation groups for toddlers and preschoolers provide language enrichment during fun-filled movement and music activities, stressing age-appropriate books for learning pre-literacy skills (listening to reading, turning pages of a book, etc.). “Listening Tots” is one of these language enrichment groups for 2 and 3 year old children.

“Communication Through Literacy” is the Center’s language program for older pre-school and school-aged children. Individual and/or group therapy provide vocabulary enrichment, pre-literacy and literacy development (phonologic awareness such as rhyming, reading comprehension, etc.), as well as encourage social-pragmatic interaction. Parent education is a main focus of all language therapy at the Center, providing families with information on facilitating communication in everyday activities.
