SPEECH PROGRAMS
WE OFFER ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT IN A VARIETY OF AREAS, INCLUDING RECEPTIVE LANGUAGE (HOW MUCH YOUR CHILD UNDERSTANDS), EXPRESSIVE LANGUAGE (HOW MUCH THEY CAN SAY), ARTICULATION (HOW SOUNDS ARE PRONOUNCED), AND SOCIAL COMMUNICATION.
Treatment Plans can include a combination of Functional Communication Training (FCT), academic tutoring, Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), use of Proloquo2Go software, self-regulation methods, and IBI/ABA Therapy. To further your child’s progress at home, combine Parent Coaching and SLP or BCBA Therapy for additional support / consultations.
At Synergy Kids – ABA Services, we recognize that not all children learn successfully in the same type of setting. We offer a comprehensive program listing of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) and respite programs so that you’re able to find a suitable program for your child’s unique needs.
SPEECH THERAPY (SESSIONS SUPERVISED BY A SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST)
An initial assessment is conducted by Synergy Kids Clinical Staff and analysed by a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) to create a suitable treatment plan that involves play-based learning, reading activities. Program benefits include advancing a child’s communication abilities and self-help regulation skills while reducing challenging behaviours. The treatment sessions are conducted by a Communicative Disorders Assistant (CDA) and clinically supervised by an Speech-Language Pathologist.
1:1 ABA THERAPY – (SESSIONS SUPERVISED BY A BOARD CERTIFIED BEHAVIOUR ANALYST)
Treatment is conducted 1:1 by an ABA Therapist inside a private therapy space. ABA strategies, combined with natural environment teaching provides high quality results. Synergy Kids combines play-based therapy, academic activities, and follows your child’s lead to address their communication needs.
In addition to communication skills, program goals can include developing self-regulation skills and reducing unwanted or challenging behaviours amongst others. Program goals and delivery methods are created using family input and an assessment by one of our Board-Certified Behaviour Analysts (BCBA).
