Speech Therapy

Exploring Innovative Speech and Language Therapy Methods

Speech and language therapy at Zier Institute tailors therapeutic interventions based on your child’s unique profile. We create individualized programming with multi-sensory techniques that provide your child with concrete and complete language learning experiences.

Your child will enjoy our play-based and child-led approach, which focuses on creating a meaningful relationship with the child and family and uses the child’s strengths to build upon other growing skills.

We design therapy sessions to support language skills that relate to home and community settings, including:

• Pragmatic and conversational language skills
• Auditory processing and comprehension capacities
• Speech sound disorders/articulation
• Production of language to build functional competence
• Emerging written expression supported by the formulation of speech, including SQ sequencing
• Storytelling and narrative development, which bridges written and oral language, improves listening, reading comprehension, and literacy skills. Storytelling also improves self-esteem, provides problem-solving techniques, and teaches children how to relate with empathy toward others.

Let’s Evaluate

As a professional team of speech and language therapists and pediatric occupational therapists, we look at the individual strengths and weaknesses of the child to create their developmental profile.

Evaluations take place in a playful environment where children feel comfortable interacting with parents, caregivers, and therapists.
