Therapy Approaches & Programs
We use a variety of specialized, evidence-based therapy approaches, carefully selected to match each child’s profile and goals:
• Gestalt Language Processing – Encourages natural language development in neurodivergent children, particularly those who use repetitive or scripted speech.
• PROMPT Therapy – Uses tactile-kinesthetic cues to support children with motor-speech challenges and improve speech clarity.
• Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) targets oral-motor control and tongue placement, supporting children in achieving accurate articulation and improved intelligibility.
• AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) – Supports children with limited verbal skills through digital and non-verbal communication methods.
• Feeding Therapy – Addresses sensory and oral-motor feeding challenges, supporting picky eaters and children with swallowing difficulties.
• DIR/Floortime Approach – Promotes emotional, social, and communication development through play-based, relationship-focused interactions.
At Elevate Kids, we are committed to supporting neurodiverse children and their families with compassionate, high-quality care that empowers every child to communicate, connect, and thrive
