The first three years of a child’s life are typically a marvelous time of discovery, exploration, and growth. However, even at a very tender age, you might be concerned about your child not babbling, not speaking, not understanding, not eating, not playing, or not communicating with you as you expected. While these concerns may seem small at early stage of your child’s development, difficulties that are not treated early can develop into significantly more challenging issues.

We are using a play-based therapeutic approach, that will help your child acquire the skills needed to communicate with you and other people. Intervention will also help you develop a supportive and nurturing communication style with your child.

Children coping with a language delay or disorder have a difficult time understanding or expressing themselves as expected for their age. The language problem could be accompanied by a variety of coping behaviors, such as frustration, “acting out”, or a seeming lack of interest in talking with other people.

A thorough diagnostic consultation will help us identify the specific strengths and weaknesses of all aspects of your child’s language and allow us to develop a very focused therapeutic approach. Any related behavioral or emotional issue will be addressed as well, as an essential part of a satisfying social communication.

Children coping with selective mutism don’t use language at all in some contexts, such as in school, even though they may be comfortable talking in other contexts. They might feel extremely anxious and systematically withdraw when not comfortable talking. If you have a concern for your child, you have probably identified the role of emotions in the use of language

We are using an evidence-based approach to help your child become comfortable talking in a variety of contexts. We work closely with your family and with the school to help your child speak at ease, both in social situations and in learning contexts.
