Is my child a late talker? Should they see a Speech Therapist? 

Children have stages of speech and language development that are consistent across the board. The exact age your child will reach each stage can vary based on several factors. We recommend that if you are concerned about your child's language development, you reach out for a consultation as early as possible. It is better to address this earlier before a child falls farther behind developmental goals. 

What is HOPE Therapies' approach to increase communication in individuals with Autism? 

We have found that every individual with autism needs a unique approach to increase communication.

During a initial consultation/screening, Joselynne will craft a specialized language development plan. Instead of a one size fits all model, which often neglects the dynamic nature of communication, Joselynne and her team will use an individual's personality and interests to make speech therapy fun, engaging, and effective.
