Early Intervention

Many toddlers get referred to Greenhouse for speech therapy - maybe they haven't said a first word yet, use a handful of baby signs to communicate, or repeat lengthy lines from their favorite shows (Daniel Tiger, anyone? :)) even when those sentences don't seem to make much sense.  Everyone says that early intervention is important, but figuring out the WHY behind a child's unique communication delay is what makes it work.

To create a therapy plan for these very young communicators, we focus on the skills that support successful speech and language growth -- the foundational skills that children need before those first words and sentences can ever emerge. We hone in on the underlying causes of each communication delay, providing insight into whether it is related to difficultly understanding or using language, or due to a lack of available speech sounds for "building" the words, or connected to social learning differences.  

There are many small moments of growth that lead to a child's first word, and we offer insights and support for parents of 'late talkers' by figuring out what small shifts will add up to big changes.  Early speech therapy enables your child to build foundational communication skills and empowers you to support them each step of the way. 

If you have questions about your toddler's communication,  feel free to schedule a free twenty-minute consultation.
