We not only provide expert help for you or your child, in a warm, caring environment, but have pioneered techniques that have achieved rather remarkable results, and use technology (for older children with language or literacy issues) that you can also use at home, to potentially reduce the overall cost of treatment, while increasing your child's progress.

Speech, Language, and Literacy all lie along what we refer to as the Communication Continuum. They are all interrelated, each affecting the other. Studies have shown, for example, that most reading problems have an underlying language component. And speech production/verbal output is enhanced by reading and other language arts. We provide traditional Speech/Language Therapy; our Language through Literacy Program, for children where language arts are the means for language improvement; and help for children with reading problems, or children who wish to read at a higher level, using the Phonic Engine Reading Method — which we researched, developed, and use to achieve exceptional results.

What Makes Us Different?

• Truly substantial improvements, such as a 2nd grader gaining 3 grade levels over 8 months (2 hours per week) in phonics and comprehension on standardized tests.
• Children who initially had no concept of writing, have gained the ability to write long, complex stories.
• Children really love coming to our center, and in every single case, every student who initially had a negative feeling toward reading or writing, developed a positive feeling.
• Our staff consists only of certified reading and/or language specialists. This means your child's issues will be properly identified and targeted.
• We offer discounts with relatively short prepayment plans.
• Our proprietary software is available for practice at home for no additional charge.
