Our last celebration focused on Xavian and Zaneida, who are both thriving in their shared speech therapy sessions, utilizing multiple-step activities that were more complex but helpful in building skills that will help the siblings reach their goals. We are continuing our celebration of kids crushing their speech therapy goals through our programs and therapists at Care Options for Kids by highlighting another speech and language therapy champion, Isaiah!
Literacy-based language skills matter
In Isaiah’s sessions, he has been working heavily on literacy-based language skills, such as reading comprehension. In this, he has worked really hard on different reading strategies, so that he can feel more confident when answering comprehension questions. During his sessions, he has been able to utilize the strategy of going back in the text to find and support his answers. We used the “screen share” option throughout our telehealth session to allow him to select a passage that was interesting to him and that he would be motivated to read. Isaiah did amazing in these exercises, using different strategies to support his well thought out answers!
Speech Therapy is very effective through in-home telehealth sessions
Telehealth speech therapy is a very effective and accessible way to make therapy available to your child. Providing a child like Isaiah, with the speech and language comprehension support that they need as they are developing those skills is a way that a family can invest in their child’s future. Care Options for Kids has created an in-home and telehealth speech and language therapy offering that has been developed and tested over time, providing a wide range of benefits beyond the traditional office setting. Our therapists find that allowing a child to be in their own home while they receive therapy creates a calm and comfortable setting for them to participate in a therapy that is new, challenging, and can at times be a little stressful. Conducting this therapy in a comfortable and familiar place reduces the demand on distraction as well as on heightening anxiety. Most kids with developmental delays in their speech and language comprehension and expression benefit greatly from early intervention. Please contact Care Options for Kids today to arrange for an evaluation or to talk about setting up services that will only support your child and their future endeavors. We look forward to hearing from you and to working together with you and your family.
