Your child's journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation designed to help us understand the whole child-not just a diagnosis or area of difficulty.
Before the evaluation, we'll learn about your concerns, your child's history, strengths, interests, daily routines, and the areas that matter most to your family. During the evaluation, your therapist may use standardized assessments, clinical observation, play and interaction, caregiver interview, and other developmentally appropriate tools.
We'll identify your child's strengths, areas where additional support may be helpful, and recommendations for next steps. If therapy is recommended, we'll work with you to develop meaningful goals that support your child at home, at school, and in the community.
At ACT Therapy Services, we believe meaningful progress happens when therapy strategies become part of everyday life. Your Family Partnership is designed to give parents and caregivers the tools, education, and confidence to support their child beyond the therapy room.
Depending on your child's needs, your partnership may focus on areas such as myofunctional therapy, AAC, gestalt language processing, sensory regulation, ADHD/executive functioning, or social-emotional development. Families receive individualized guidance to better understand their child, recognize progress, respond to challenges, and use practical strategies within everyday routines.
The goal is not for parents to become the therapist. It is to help you understand the why behind therapy and feel confident supporting your child in ways that are realistic, connected, and sustainable.
Your child's weekly therapy sessions remain individualized and goal-focused, but support continues beyond the appointment. Your therapist will help connect what is happening in therapy to your child's real life by providing practical strategies, education, and resources you can use at home, school, and in the community.
Family Partnership support may also include therapist strategy calls, messaging for questions between visits, school resources, an in-home or school-based coaching session when appropriate, progress updates, parent community support, and pathway-specific educational resources.
The result: therapy that doesn't stay in the therapy room, but becomes part of the routines, relationships, and environments where your child spends the most time.
Speech Therapy for individuals under 18 years of age. Speech Therapy may focus on the areas of articulation, language skills, fluency, voice and feeding/swallowing.
Occupational Therapy for clients ages 2 to 18 years of age. Therapy may target sensory processing/integration, fine/gross motor skills, writing skills, and social emotional regulation.
Orofacial Myology for clients from four years of age to adult. Improves the resting tongue posture for speech, chewing/swallowing, and encourages nasal breathing.
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.
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.
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.
