Joint sessions take place with both an Occupational Therapist and a Speech and Language Therapist, targeting the child’s needs in both areas. The Occupational Therapist generally focuses on the child’s regulation and attention, while the Speech and Language Therapist focusses on developing communication.

Joint Therapy Sessions can include:

  • Listening and focus
  • Following instructions
  • Auditory processing
  • Receptive language (e.g. following instructions, understanding words and what people are saying, etc.)
  • Expressive language (e.g. slow to start speaking, grammatical errors, limited spoken language, taking time to think of what they want to say, etc.)
  • Social skills (e.g. conversational skills, interaction with peers, playing with peers, taking turns, etc.)
  • Speech sounds (e.g. speech that is difficult to understand)
  • Stuttering/stammering (e.g. repetition of words, words feel stuck, etc.)
  • Phonological awareness (e.g. difficulty with rhyming, sound awareness, literacy, etc)
  • Physical, sensory, cognitive and emotional functioning
  • Self-care skills
  • Motor skills
  • Social skills
