In addition to weekly individual therapy services, we provide the following:

Early Intervention Services
The Speech Pathology Group endorses early detection of speech-language and hearing disorders by offering low-cost screenings to community preschool sites. We also provide parent/caregiver and professional in-service trainings upon request.

Social Language Small Group Intervention
On-going weekly sessions of language therapy conducted in dyads and/or small groups with emphasis on perspective-taking, conversational skills (topic initiation and maintenance, active listening), and appropriate nonverbal communication skills (e.g. eye contact, facial expression, and body posture). Includes initial consultation, parent meetings, individualized treatment plan, weekly sessions, school and/or community observations as needed. Appropriate for children with autistic spectrum disorders, attention deficit disorders, nonverbal learning disability (NLD), and children with social-emotional problems.

Social Language Summer Adventure Camp
The Social Language Summer Adventure Camp is an opportunity for children with social language impairments to have shared positive experiences with peers within therapist guided interactions both in and out of the clinic environment. Clinic sessions focus on conversational skills, planning field trips, and problem solving any social or communication issues that may arise during field trips. Community excursions are hosted by licensed, Speech-Language Pathologists with experience in teaching social skills and pragmatic language, and focus on pro-social skills such as turn-taking, polite requesting, perspective-taking, and interpreting nonverbal social cues.

Building Bridges
Parent/community training programs to enhance children's communication skills
A workshop designed to help caregivers and families of infants, toddlers and children bridge communication gaps that may exist due to delayed language acquisition. The workshop will focus on techniques families can use in the home and during naturally-occurring activities to facilitate language growth and improved social language interaction. An experienced speech-language pathologist in the area of early language development will model appropriate linguistic structures, foster vocabulary development growth, and expand language in natural environments. Participants will receive materials and activities they can take home and immediately use in the home to make learning fun for the entire family. Upon request, staff trainings are available.
Phase 1: Infant/toddler population
Phase 2: Preschool/Pre K population


Cochlear Implant Rehabilitation
The Speech Pathology Group has two staff members with special training in treating children with cochlear implants and hearing aids. This service is currently available at our Walnut Creek Clinic site.
