Therapy Services

Within the Collaborative Model, therapies become an integral part of the curriculum and the educational program. As our therapists work closely with parents and teachers, creative strategies and treatments are developed that apply our clinical expertise to the natural environment, i.e. the classroom, home and community. Our speech, occupational and physical therapists work collaboratively to meet each child’s individual needs and maximize their potential.

Speech, occupational and physical therapies are each part of every student’s education program. Our approach is multisensory with an emphasis on total communication for the development of speech and language. Services are provided in a variety of ways:

Individual therapy both in and outside of the classroom
Co-treatment options
Group therapy
Small groups of two or three children
Skill specific groups: aerobics/fitness, sports, feeding, pre-vocational, social skills, functional play skills

We have skilled and knowledgeable staff with an average of seven years of clinical experience. All therapists are CPR certified. Many have experience providing therapy in Early Intervention which enhances our ability to help students and families transition to a school based program. Our therapists are encouraged to seek out continuing education conferences in order to remain up to date in our clinical knowledge and skill. We are affiliated with several universities (UMDNJ, Columbia, Seton Hall, NYU, Kean and Montclair State) to provide internships for their students enrolled in their Speech, Occupational and Physical Therapy programs.
