Communication Works (CW) assists children and adults to communicate and learn more effectively through comprehensive therapy. The CW team views each client as a whole and provides support as needed. We begin our services with a comprehensive evaluation to determine whether speech, language, social skills, and/or social regulation are developing normally, and whether professional intervention is needed. We have therapists with bilingual capabilities for families and clients who speak Spanish as their primary language. Following the evaluation, interpretation and recommendations are discussed with parents/caregivers and other members of the client’s team, and subsequently, an individualized treatment plan is developed to support the client in the areas of need.
Our Center offers a warm, safe, and family-friendly environment with therapy rooms suited for different ages. CW believes in a team approach and partners with parents/caregivers as well as the professionals on your team. Our proven and successful collaborative model and our emphasis on applying learned skills to everyday situations is what sets us apart from other centers. Our clinicians work with each client and their family on a weekly basis, and we consult with the client’s school or therapeutic center as needed to ensure carryover and expedite progress. Our services demonstrate care and commitment to all of our clients and their families.
