Why is it important to combine speech and language therapy with executive functions skills training?
As a practitioner with many years of experience, I have seen the value of life-long intervention services. Working to help clients who have difficulty navigating the on-the-move modern classroom and workplace, I develop individualized learning programs tailored to each client’s needs. By combining speech and executive functioning therapies with those designed to improve communication and language learning skills, marked progress occurs in those whose productivity previously had been stalled.
In this type of approach, multiple sensory systems are stimulated simultaneously. These systems play key foundational roles in motor planning, language, and learning, as well as auditory and visual processing. They also contribute significantly to cognitive and emotional development.
Note: Individual, one-on-one sessions are made and designed in a prescription of regular frequency and length depending on the client’s age, needs, and other factors as well as other clinical issues.
