At Horizon® we
provide pediatric and adolescent speech-language services to the community,
addressing a wide array of speech and language
disorders. This private practice, based in
Teaneck, New Jersey, provides a flexible one-on one approach to children
through young adults in their most comfortable setting whether at home, the child's daycare or school.
We employ a practical and warm approach to
therapy. Parental involvement is key for success. Parents,
caregivers and teachers are encouraged to attend sessions and ask questions.
You
are involved every step of the way, and are given activities to
practice with your child to help review the new skills your child has
learned. Furthermore, it helps your
child learn how to generalize the new skills into everyday
situations. After all, encouragement and reinforcement is the
key to success.
What
can you expect from us:
Comprehensive
Evaluations- We
use a wide array of evaluation types covering all aspects of speech and
language development. They type chosen, is based on the areas of
concern. Most evaluations involve the use of standardized testing,
which provide information about how your child is performing compared to
same-age peers. In addition to standardized testing, informal
testing is also performed. This usually includes information
provided by the parents, as well as interactions with the child in
conversation and/or play activities. If a more involved / in-depth evaluation
is required, the evaluation may be split over several sessions. A
written report is always provided at no additional cost.
In
addition to speech and language evaluations, we also provide
comprehensive evaluations for Apraxia, Oral Motor (Oral Placement)
Disorders, Sensory-Motor Disorders, and Feeding / Swallowing
Disorders. These evaluations usually include an in-depth
examination of the facial and oral structures, and their
functioning. Also examined is the sensory system within the mouth,
as well as the motor planning necessary for speech and feeding.
