While access to service dwindles as students age, language needs only grow. For students who always lagged behind their peers with language-based skills such as vocabulary, comprehension, and writing skills, high school and college level curriculum may seem all but impossible. Moreover, navigating social dynamics becomes immeasurably more difficult as settings change, and service providers don't always adapt to the complex needs of adolescents and young adults. At Transitions Speech Therapy, we use an evidence-based, client-centered approach. We feel it is crucial to begin with rapport building and establishing a trusting relationship between clinician and client, as improvement stems from internal motivation. We rely on client-assessment to lead treatment; we work on skills that YOU need in order to reach your fullest potential.

*A note on social communication: Transitions Speech Therapy provides neurodiversity affirming support. We do not "train" social skills for Autistic individuals. Instead, we focus on skills such as exploring different communication styles, teaching perspective taking skills, and improving self-advocacy.
