We conduct screenings and evaluations in all modalities for Early Intervention (0-3years), Pre-School/Related Services (3-5 years) and School Age Children (5+ years). Based on the profile of your child’s strengths and weaknesses, along with input from family members and teachers, we make a set of short-term (three-month) goals with specific objectives that are easily measured.
These goals cross all domains and incorporate both developmental and functional aspects. Because your child’s strengths and weaknesses are unique, no two treatment plans are the same.
O’Brien Speech and Learning believes that learning should be a fun and happy experience. Your child learns and grows best in a rich environment enhancing self esteem and one-on-one interaction.
Our therapy sessions are 30, 45 or 60 minutes long. The treatment sessions are goal driven and data based to clearly track your child’s improvement and changes in their learning pattern. We use a variety of state-of-the-art computer-based learning technology, toys and activities.
