How we work!

1

Screening is a “snapshot” of the child’s communication abilities and can tell us if the child’s current skills are on target or need further evaluation. You can call us to schedule a free initial screening if you suspect your child is displaying delays in speech and language. A short parent interview on the phone can also give us a good picture.

For evaluations, we use a flexible approach – a combination of formal and standardized tests, informal play-based assessment, along thorough parent interviews and input to gain an accurate picture of the child. We believe in a multidisciplinary approach and will be happy to involve his/her teachers, other therapists, and service providers per your written permission. The assessment will include the child's skill level in communication, strengths, areas of improvement, and an effective treatment plan with goals targeting the specific needs in the areas of speech, language, and literacy. Speech and language evaluations are also important to rule out language differences vs. language disorders in bilingual children. While we see a variety of clients, our specialty is children who are learning English as a second language.

All our therapies are tailor-made to fit the client’s specific needs. Any person, with or without a diagnosis or disability is unique. Not all individuals falling under the same diagnosis have the same needs or benefit from the same die-cast therapy. While the individual's diagnosis is always kept in mind, the goals and the plan for therapy are generated based on the specific need areas for that particular client. At Main Step Therapy, we provide a customized plan of treatment for each child based on the needs identified as part of the initial and ongoing assessment. The treatment plans may include direct, indirect, and individual or group therapies.
