Proper communication of the child with the world has a significant impact on the process of education, upbringing and intellectual development. It opens the door to the next stages in the child's development, and allows him to express his needs.
Speech is closely connected with oral reflexes: sucking, swallowing, saliva secretion, and later with biting and chewing. Any anomalies in both the area of food intake and deviations from the accepted patterns of speech development are observable by specialists supporting parents in the first months of a child's life. Children of preschool and early school age are welcome to receive therapy aimed at eliminating existing speech defects, as well as school difficulties resulting from abnormalities in language communication. For children who do not communicate verbally, we are able to propose the implementation of alternative communication.
Prompt diagnosis and, if necessary, therapy, provide the opportunity to optimize the child's development.
For your child:
- we will carry out a detailed diagnosis of functional abilities based on the research tools we have and the expertise of experienced therapists;
- we will create an individual program of speech/neurological therapy;
- we will implement therapeutic feeding;
- in order to achieve the best possible results of therapy, we will use certified speech therapy and pedagogical aids: Biofeedback Training, a program for creating alternative communication, aids for breathing exercises, speech therapy pacifins, speech therapy bags, games to help learn correct pronunciation, speech therapy computer programs and many others.
- we will try to strengthen his self-confidence, give him a sense of satisfaction with his work and enhance his self-esteem.
For you, the Parent:
- we offer partnership, which is a basic and essential element of good therapy;
- we will prepare instructions on how to perform exercises at home to make them effective;
- we offer a meeting and conversation to dispel doubts and motivate in a moment of doubt;
- we monitor progress on an ongoing basis and make adjustments to the therapy plan as needed.
