EARLY INTERVENTION

Starting early helps children meet developmental milestones

Averhart Collins Speech Therapy Services provides early intervention speech, language, and social skills therapy for children between the ages of birth to 3 years old, who are experiencing delays in their development. Therapy is focused on guiding children on the path to meeting their milestones during the most important developmental years.

We put the pieces of the puzzle together to help kids succeed.

Evaluations

Our team uses a combination of conversation, observation, standardized assessments, and therapist-child interaction, to develop an understanding of the child's skills and areas of difficulty. Evaluations are used to guide individualized therapy plans and goals. 

Speech, Language and Therapy

We are dedicated to supporting children in achieving lasting communication success. Our therapists use a mix of play-based therapy, parent coaching, and direct therapy to help each child work towards their individual goals.

Telepractice

Telepractice is an option for delivering services to families who are social distancing or outside of our service area. Our team conducts evaluations and provides therapy to families on their choice of platform (phone, tablet, or computer). Just like in-person therapy, we use a coaching model for delivering services. During the session, parents engage with their child while being guided by the therapist. Telepractice is open to anyone in the state of California. 

Hanen Program

The Hanen It Takes Two to Talk® and More Than Words® programs are designed to empower parents with the strategies to play, read, and interact with their child in meaningful ways. They also teach parents how to identify opportunities for practice within daily routines and play. The Hanen program and parent coaching are great options for our youngest clients who may not be ready for direct therapy.
