Speech Pathology
Clients who live with intellectual/developmental disabilities, have an autism diagnosis or are recovering from a brain injury can benefit from our speech therapy services. Individuals with speech, language, memory, or cognitive impairments work with a licensed speech and language therapist to improve functional communication, enhance executive functioning skills, and several other speech abilities, such as:
- Communicative independence

Physical Therapy for People With Disabilities
Our experienced physical therapists create specific treatment plans for our clients who require improved gross motor and movement abilities. Through a specific rehabilitation plan, individuals receive one-on-one physical therapy to restore and maintain specific challenges. Physical therapy can enhance a client’s self-confidence as they learn to improve the following mobilities:
- Balance and coordination
- Walking
- Range of motion
- Muscle strength
- Safe transfer techniques
Neuropsychological Evaluations
Our board-certified clinical neuropsychologist performs highly detailed client evaluations that can be significantly important when developing evidence-based therapy and rehabilitation programs. The assessment begins with a full-battery of standardized tests and clinical interviews to provide comprehensive insight into the cognitive abilities of our therapy and counseling clients. The thoroughly extensive report is shared with members of the clinical team and used to create specific rehabilitation programs and influence other modes of treatment.
