Speech Therapy Services in Brooklyn, NY

  • Social skills, but make it neuro-inclusive.

    Learning social skills in a structured format allows for you to have the foundations and skills in your database, and pick and choose when to apply it in your daily life. Just like neurotypicals…wink wink.

    Some examples of goals might be initiating and maintains conversation, staying on topic, understanding body language.

    For adults and teens, we cover workplace social interactions, dating, and more.

  • When treating autistic people, we follow the Natural Language Acquisition framework which is a neuro-affirming approach to understanding, expanding, and shaping the language of gestalt language learners.

    Gestalt language learners process and use language in whole chunks, often experiencing language as a multi-sensory experience where longer phrases, emotions, and sensory pieces integrate to form a wholistic message. Gestalt language learners use scripts and echolalia to communicate.

  • Are you hoping to expand your toddler’s current level of communication?

    Parents often feel worried if their child isn’t speaking yet or seems a little bit behind their peers in following directions, understanding words, or play skills. We’re here to help!

    Using a child-led and play-based approach, we will work on all of the early development pieces needed to start communicating. We’ll also use a variety of other approaches such as PROMPT and the Hanen framework, and Natural Language Aquisition framework for autistic toddlers.

  • Neurodivergent people
