Our Approach to Therapy
At DVT Therapeutics, our speech and occupational therapy services are never one-size-fits-all. We’ll get to know your family’s dialect, traditions, and values to build the skills that matter most to you.
During your child’s sessions, we’ll embed therapeutic goals into any activity they choose. We’re experts at creating learning moments while your child plays, so the hard work of therapy feels fun!
We always include parents and caregivers in sessions, because you are your child’s most important teacher. You’ll walk away from each session knowing how to help your child succeed in everyday life.
We focus on the whole child, not just a test score
Culturally Responsive Evaluations
We’ll start by seeing how your child communicates, learns, and connects with their world through a combination of questionnaires and formal tests.
At DVT Therapeutics, we understand that standardized tests don’t always capture the true abilities of children from diverse backgrounds. Our therapists are trained to look beyond test scores to account for differences in culture and dialect.
Once the evaluation is finished, we’ll work together to set meaningful goals for your child. We’ll walk with you every step of the way on your child’s speech and occupational therapy journey!
Our Pediatric Therapy Specialties
Speech Sound Therapy
Speech therapy focuses on teaching your child to feel, hear, and produce speech sounds so they can be understood by others. At DVT Therapeutics, speech therapy is active and motivating, using music and hands-on activities to make learning fun. Speech therapy will help your child:
Feel and hear when their sounds are right
Pronounce challenging sounds in words, phrases, and sentences
Correct their own speech sound errors
Speak clearly and confidently
Speech Therapy for Stuttering
Speech therapy for stuttering is personalized to your child’s age and emotional needs. We’ll focus on creating a safe space to talk about stuttering, build self-esteem, and teach your whole family strategies to make speech easier. Stuttering therapy will help your child:
Reframe negative thoughts and feelings about their speech
Use techniques to speak fluently, without tension or struggle
Build confidence and a positive self-perception
Parents are an important part of stuttering therapy! We’re here to answer your questions about stuttering and help you support your child’s speech with confidence.
Language Therapy
Language therapy is centered around your child’s natural, everyday life. We’ll build on your child’s strengths to help them communicate in the way that works best for them, using spoken words, signs, gestures, or visuals. Our speech therapists will help your child:
Understand and follow directions
Use meaningful words and longer sentences
Express needs, feelings, and ideas
Communicate with confidence at home and school
At DVT Therapeutics, we’re trained to distinguish between a language difference and a true language disorder. We’ll honor your family’s culture, dialect, and communication style in every session!
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy focuses on building your child’s independence in daily life so they can confidently play, learn, socialize, and care for themselves. Our occupational therapy sessions will focus on real-life goals that matter to your family, to help your child:
Dress, feed, and complete hygiene tasks by themselves
Develop stronger hand and finger skills
Improve sensory and emotional regulation
Use critical thinking skills to solve problems
Our occupational therapists and speech therapists often work together to build sensory, motor, and communication skills at the same time!
Social Skills Therapy
We take a neurodiversity-affirming approach to social skills therapy that respects your child’s preferences, sensory needs, and communication style. Our social skills therapy sessions use music, role playing, and authentic experiences to help your child:
Understand social cues and non-verbal communication
Recognize feelings, manage emotions, and see other perspectives
Take turns, engage in conversations, and stay on topic
Adjust language for different people and situations
We understand that children learn best when they feel safe and supported, so emotional regulation is the foundation of each session!
