What our clients say
"Our son has Autism, and before we came to ACTG, he only made sound effects, he wouldn't speak. Now, after two years of coming to speech therapy, he talks a lot, he can play board games, and jokes around with his therapists! He's much more interactive than he used to be!"  - Father of SLP client

Frequently
asked questions

What is an SLP?
A Speech-Language Pathologist is a therapist that focuses on communication. They have a master's degree and maintain national certification through the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. SLPs can work in schools, hospitals, or clinics with both children and adults. They work to improve a person's speech intelligibility (articulation), understanding of language (receptive language), fluency and much more.
WHAT KIND OF COMMUNICATION DEFICITS ARE THERE?
  • Articulation/Phonological - Deficits in this area can make it challenging for you to understand a person when they are speaking.
  • Expressive Language - This includes the ability to express thoughts and ideas. It includes length of sentences, grammar, content of the message and vocabulary. Deficits in this area can make it challenging for the individual to clearly and concisely tell you information, in both spoken and written forms.
  • Receptive Language - The first to develop, receptive language is the ability to listen and understand speech. This includes understanding sentences, following instructions, understanding a story or understanding basic concepts. Deficits in this area can make it challenging for the individual to follow directions or understand information.
  • Pragmatics - These are the social language skills we use in our daily interactions. This includes what we say, how we say it, and our body language. It also includes our ability to judge what is expected in different situations. Deficits in this area can make it challenging for the individual to work in groups or understand figurative language in stories or conversation.
  • Fluency/Stuttering - Fluency difficulties or stuttering occurs when the flow of speech is interrupted by blocks, repetitions, or prolongations of words, sounds and/or phrases. The individual knows what they would like to say but has trouble with the flow of speech. 
What Will Therapy look like?
Speech therapy is based on the needs of each individual. We offer direct one-on-one therapy with you or your loved one, addressing all your communication concerns. Therapists will work with you to create a custom treatment plan, including home-based activities, that support your progress.
What can I do at home to help my child's speech language development? 
Talk to your child. Narrate your thought out loud. Encourage efforts of your child to communicate using various means including gestures, pointing, eye gaze and verbalizations. Also reading to your child encourages further language development. 
What is the difference between speech and language? 
Speech is spoken language. It refers to sound and word production. Speech includes articulation, phonology, voice and fluency. 

Language is a set of rules to combine symbols and words. These can be written, spoken or expressed through gestures. It involves understanding others (receptive) and communication of thoughts and feelings (expressive).
Our Mission is to promote the maximum development of the whole child and adult through innovative, individualized and comprehensive brain-centered programs and services.
