Marissa James Services
Speech
Helping children whose speech is difficult to produce and understand. Play-based therapy is used to strengthen speech muscles, improve articulation, fluency and intelligibility! Merisa is trained in the PROMPT approach – a tactile-kinaesthetic approach which helps speech structures move correctly to form words.
Communication
Merisa values and supports effective communication in all its forms. Language is integrated into multiple forms of communication to help build your child’s confidence and success in communicating. Personalized AAC. (augmentative and alternative communication) are offered and encouraged to always ensure your child’s access to communication.
Language
Play-based, child-led, multi-modal strategies are used to build your child’s understanding and expression to help them become successful communicators!
Feeding
Addressing challenges related to oral-motor disorders, sensory aversions, picky eating and other medical causes. I aim to address the root cause of feeding difficulties and help your child swallow safely, explore food and enjoy mealtimes!
Supporting individuals with:
• Autism Spectrum Disorder
• Downs Syndrome
• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Cerebral palsy
