Chelsea provides speech, language, and feeding therapy. Therapy sessions can be provided in the home, at the child’s school, or at bklyn speech in Park Slope.
Therapy sessions are 30 or 45 minutes, and incorporate your child’s unique interests and skills. Chelsea believes collaboration with the family and school team is critical for each child to reach their full potential. She has an open-door policy and invites parents, caregivers, teachers, and other therapists to observe her sessions and discuss current goals and treatment. She also believes that every child, regardless of diagnosis, is completely unique. After getting to know your child, she uses every tool in her toolbox to help them learn and thrive. Chelsea is trained in PROMPT (Level II), Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) Approach to Feeding, Ayres Sensory Integration, and Social Thinking Curriculum. She is currently completing her training in Gestalt Language Therapy. Learn more below:
SOS Approach to Feeding
This feeding therapy approach focuses on increasing a child’s comfort level by exploring and learning about the different properties of food. The program allows a child to interact with food in a playful, non-stressful way. Learn more here.
PROMPT
PROMPT is an acronym for Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets. The technique is a tactile-kinesthetic approach that uses touch cues to a client’s articulators (jaw, tongue, lips) to manually guide them through a targeted word, phrase or sentence. Learn more here.
Social Thinking Curriculum
The teachings of the Social Thinking Methodology help people understand themselves and others to better navigate the social world, foster relationship development, and improve their performance at school, at home, and at work. Social Thinking provides tools to break down complex social executive functioning concepts (like perspective taking) into understandable and doable parts. Learn more here.
