Inga will work with you to identify and evaluate concerns such as early language development, articulation, pragmatics, fluency, and sensory feeding.  After the evaluation, you’ll receive a detailed report including goals and recommendations.

 

SERVICES OFFERED

 

Articulation therapy:  Often articulation is not offered in schools.  Teletherapy enables a child to successfully target sounds by incorporating  a variety of fun activities and specialized homework to target goals.

 

Early language development:  Using a play-based, parent-coaching model, 30-minute sessions take place via a secured teletherapy link.  Techniques are introduced that can be incorporated throughout the day to increase a child’s use of language in order to express their wants and needs.  After each session, you’ll receive customized homework.

 

Stuttering/Cluttering:  Disfluency may begin to emerge as a child begins to increase their use of verbal language to communicate.  Inga utilizes evidence-based individualized treatment approaches that include direct and indirect treatment strategies, stuttering modification techniques, fluency shaping techniques, attention-shifting techniques, and avoidance reduction strategies.

 

Pragmatics:  Pragmatic language is the use of appropriate communication in social situations.  It involves knowing what to say, how to say it, and when to say it.  While we are taught the basics from a very early age such as greeting with hi and bye, the demands of communication grow as we age and require awareness and practice as does any acquired skill.  Pragmatic teletherapy targets each child’s specific communication goals within a safe, comfortable setting via teletherapy.

 

Sensory feeding:  Meal time can be stressful for a family with a child with a limited diet.  Inga has worked extensively with families to develop strategies to increase a child’s food repertoire and make mealtimes a positive, healthy experience.
