Speech Therapy:
The speech therapists at Chit Chat Therapy help children and adolescents to improve their communication skills by integrating all aspects of speech and language development, including receptive and expressive language, articulation, respiration, and fluency. Cognitive components such as problem-solving and reasoning are also addressed by speech therapists. Other aspects of treatment may include the development and training of alternative and augmentative communication, oral motor abilities, swallowing, and feeding skills.

Occupational Therapy:
Our occupational therapists develop individualized plans to address your child’s needs. Since the “occupation” of children and adolescents is play, it is through the use of play and recreational activities that occupational therapists assist children and adolescents in learning the skills necessary for successful living. Occupational therapy can improve functions such as the ability to perform the tasks of feeding, bathing, and dressing through the development of fine motor skills, as well as neuro-motor, visual-motor, and sensory integration skills. Our therapists have training in specific occupational therapy programs, including handwriting and sensory integration methods.

Physical Therapy:

When children and adolescents have difficulties with movement, posture, strength, or balance, physical therapy can help identify and treat these challenges. Through play, therapeutic exercises, handling techniques, and strength and balance training, physical therapists support children in developing important motor skills like rolling, sitting, crawling, and walking. Therapy may also help reduce falls, improve independence, and prevent or limit future difficulties. In addition, physical therapists can adapt environments and recommend equipment to make everyday activities, such as walking, standing, and sitting, easier and more successful.
