Treatment for Children
“A child’s ability to meet expectations for understanding and expressing language at age level is key to success at home and at school and for generalizing these skills for successful peer interactions. The process combines media, such as drawing, painting and building with various materials to raise a child’s sense of agency and joyful involvement for active listening and formulation of language.”
