Blog » Expanding Locations...Expanding Services
Dreams to reality is an amazing experience. Some time ago, I thought all services under one provider in an effort to extend continuity and provide true transdisciplinary action. We began home programming several months ago under the title "Empower the Home Programs" . The goal is for success to extend beyond clinic walls so that families can be empowered and clients can expand levels of independence. This program has been quite successful and is gaining new momentum daily!
We are also moving to our Norwalk site July 2nd. Therapy times are already being booked for our educational therapists, speech therapists, speech therapy assistant, and behavior therapist. Our entire staff is excited and eagerly anticipating the new change. As of July 2nd, Speech & Language Consultants will be in two locations: Norwalk and Trumbull.
Our staff is being trained and supported through our internal professional development system. Keeping in mind that all come with experience and knowledge base, as clinic director it is important to me that all impart our philosophy, style, parent education, and continued community presence.
Again..the vision to reality is an amazing experience. All services, one location, continuity of care and implementation from a language and behavior first perspective....just WONDERFUL!
Can't wait to see everyone in Norwalk!
