The ACT Therapy Services Approach

In our practice, we believe in treating each client as “whole” incorporating their interests, values, and occupations which allows us to better improve each client’s speech, language, cognition swallowing, and participation in daily activities.

We believe in and strive to foster relationships with our clients and their families because we know the possibilities that are there when everyone works together.

AAC

AAC


AAC is Alternative and Augmentative Communication. We believe in giving access to high tech AAC (communication devices or iPads) early in the language development journey so clients have unlimited access to communicate their wants and needs. 

Safe & Sound Protocol

Safe & Sound Protocol


By sending cues of safety through specially filtered music, the SSP engages a system of muscles and nerves that support social engagement, stimulating the vague nerve. This opens the door for other therapies to become more accessible, impactful and accelerated.

Gestalt Language Processing

Gestalt Language Processing


GLP (Gestalt Language Processing) focuses on development of gestures as key building blocks in communication - helping clients express themselves confidently and naturally as they progress in their language acquisition journey.

We couldn't be more thankful to be part of the ACT Therapy family!

The energy and culture of the office is really warm and welcoming and we are so thankful our daughter is growing in her development there!

"We have been so impressed and grateful for ACT therapy-it has been such a gift for our family! Rachel, our speech therapist, has been wonderful while working with our 2 year-old and she always has the best play-based activities planned for our sessions! She gives us practical tools to use when playing with our daughter at home and our kiddo is making great progress! We always feel cared for, welcomed, and known by the whole team. We highly recommend this practice!"

Mother of a Client
I have found the place that loves my kid exactly how I hope someone would. 

"I am truly happy to leave a review. My daughter has seen so many therapist at so many places, and never have I encountered such wonderful people as the staff here at ACT. We have experienced so much progress in life. I can't express my gratitude enough for ACT therapy services. You couldn't pay me to go somewhere else. Miss Ashley and Miss Emily are exceptional women, but all the ladies who work there express such happiness at seeing my daughter every week. Whatever you're looking for for your child, you can find right here."
