Let's Speak-About-It!
Speak-a-bu's mission is to help patients and their families become the most confident, independent, and joyful communicators that they desire to be.
As humans, we want to do so much more than just communicate our basic wants and needs. We want to express our thoughts, ideas, dreams, and jokes in our preferred modalities, whether through spoken communication, signing, gestures, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), or a combination of any of the above.
MY THERAPY METHOD
-
PERSON-CENTERED
Therapy is guided by the individual as a WHOLE. A detailed case history is gathered before therapy begins, taking careful consideration of milestones, previous medical/therapy history, as well as cultural and linguistic differences.
-
STRENGTH-BASED
Everyone comes to therapy with strengths. In the beginning stages of therapy, we will focus on rapport-building, as well as building upon those natural strengths with each passing session to help patients communicate with confidence.
-
FINDING the JOY
Developing communication skills is hard work but it doesn’t have to be joyless. Expanding communication skills is exciting and should be celebrated! My job is to ensure my patients are able to celebrate and feel the joy of their achievements in every session.
