    Specialized Care

    Individual and Group Therapy Options:

    We offer both individual and group speech therapy options to best support patient needs. During your initial evaluation, the SLP will determine whether individual or group therapy is most appropriate. 

    One-on-one sessions are personalized to your goals, while our full-day Aphasia or Cognitive Day Treatment Programs provide a more intensive approach. These full-day programs combine individual and group therapies to build skills, offer education, and provide meaningful strategies that help improve communication, thinking abilities, and daily independence.

    Aphasia Day Treatment Program
    This program blends group and individual therapies to help you work on speaking, understanding, reading, and writing in real-life situations.

    Cognitive Day Treatment Program
    Individual and group therapy sessions address social skills, memory, attention, problem-solving, community reintegration, planning, and reasoning skills. Therapy focuses on exercises and practical strategy training so you can feel more confident in daily life.
