What Our Happy Clients Say<\/p>\n
<\/h4>
\u201cThe progress that Ryan has made over the past year and a half has been amazing! The fact that he looks forward to his weekly appointments and the next new learning “game” you may introduce makes me, as a parent, thrilled. I have and will continue to recommend services at OTA!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\u201cSpeech and Language at OTA has made a profound impact on our son. \u00a0The creativity, resourcefulness, and professionalism of our therapist is consistent and impactful. \u00a0We trust our therapist, and our son feels comfortable and safe in the OTA setting. \u00a0The center is bright, clean, fun, well maintained, and changes enough that it feels fresh each week. \u00a0The materials and lesson plans provided by our therapist relate specifically to the challenges our son faces and she tackles each with care and thoughtfulness\u2026 His growth as a result of this dedication is meaningful. \u00a0We are amazed by the progress each month, quarter, and year. \u00a0Small steps lead to significant results.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>

\u201cWe’ve been delighted with your services. Ethan was a reluctant participant elsewhere \u201c<\/p>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\u201cPeople are often surprised that my son receives speech therapy. \u00a0Friends exclaim, “But he talks just fine!” \u00a0I think many people have a limited understanding of what speech therapy can look like. \u00a0At OTA the therapists worked with my son to help him better navigate social situations especially with peers. \u00a0They provide strategies to manage frustration, improve executive functioning, and encourage him to be a more flexible person (less rigid in his thinking). I have also enjoyed the ongoing support from his therapists. \u00a0We have ongoing dialogue regarding his progress and challenges. \u00a0We’ve really enjoyed our time at OTA and highly recommend them to friends.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>

\u201cJackson loves coming to OTA for speech and it has never felt like work for him. What a great way to get help in such a fun and supportive environment.\u00a0I think one of the best examples was when I corrected Jackson with the “he\/she” mix up and he said “Oh, I forgot Emily always tells me that!”<\/p>\n<\/div>

What sets OTA apart making us a Family Favorite?<\/h3>\n
At OTA, our Center has several learning environments that allow us to meet the individual needs of our clients. This range of settings allows flexible, fluid movement between rooms throughout a session so that clients can practice skills within multiple environments. This helps to generalize learned skills to everyday environments they encounter at home and in the community. We embed communication skills and language goals within a naturalistic social environment.<\/p>\n
Some of our settings include:<\/p>\n
\n
Small table top rooms (where kids can learn new skills in a 1:1 environment with limited distractions)<\/li>\n
Small and large motor-gym spaces (where kids can participate in motivating and kid-friendly gross motor activities)<\/li>\n
Kitchen (where kids can engage in mealtime activities such as sequencing food preparation, and also can improve their feeding and oral motor skills)<\/li>\n
Exploration station (where kids can engage in fine-motor activities such as drawing, arts and crafts, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
We also encourage personalized parent involvement in the sessions. We empower parents to carry over skills learned here at OTA to outside environments. This parent involvement is individualized and can include the following:<\/p>\n
\n
Direct involvement in the therapy sessions<\/li>\n
Two-way mirror observations<\/li>\n
Watching a session from inside the therapy room<\/li>\n
Debriefing after a session<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
