My Child Has Trouble Eating: Can You Help?

Eating is usually an enjoyable part of a child’s day. However, it’s common for some children to have feeding difficulties that may impair their growth and development. A feeding evaluation can provide much needed answers.

Understanding the Different Types of Autism

Every child has unique skills and varying challenges. Early intervention provides children with autism the best opportunity to learn new skills and change behaviors to thrive and reach their potential.

The Importance of Early Intervention if Your Child Stutters

Repeating words or parts of words is usually the first sign of stuttering in children. Early speech therapy is a proven and valuable intervention to recover fluent speech if a child begins stuttering.

Why Early Intervention is Important for Autism

A diagnosis of autism can be made reliably in children as young as 18 months. Early intervention can change how the brain develops and help your child make great strides in development.

Could Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) Be Right for Your Child?

Children with autism spectrum disorder have unique abilities and challenges. ABA is an evidence-based therapy that provides families with the resources necessary to best support their children.

Does My Child Have a Sensory Processing Disorder?

Children with sensory challenges can learn to regulate their senses. In doing so, they become less bothered or preoccupied with sensory input and feel and function better.
