Here are 6 ways to help your child feel more confident connecting with others. ➡️

And if your child continues to struggle, we’re here to help! Our speech-language pathologists can help children build confidence, communication skills, and stronger social connections.

We are anticipating shorter wait lists for our ABA program this fall!

KCC was one of the first clinics in Michigan to offer applied behavior analysis and continues to be one of the most trusted providers in the state. We offer a continuum of treatment that grows with your child, from one-on-one structured teaching to a classroom setting where kids can build and practice skills in a more natural environment.

🔸Ages 18 months–6 years
🔸Full and half-day options available
🔸Get started at kidspeech.com/ABA

One question we hear a lot at KCC is, “What does an occupational therapy evaluation actually look like?”

An occupational therapy evaluation helps us understand how your child is doing with everyday activities and where they may need extra support to build independence with:

🔸Fine motor skills
🔸Visual motor skills
🔸Sensory processing skills
🔸Feeding and oral motor skills

OT evaluations generally have three main parts:

1️⃣ We want to hear from YOU! Your family’s concerns, goals, and everyday experiences are a big part of the evaluation process.

2️⃣ We use standardized testing along with our clinical expertise to get a better picture of your child’s strengths and areas where they might need some support.

3️⃣ We explore and work through activities in our state-of-the-art sensory motor gym, with swings, slides, obstacle courses, a ball pit and trampoline, to see how your child processes and responds to different sensory experiences.

Thinking about an OT evaluation? Fall can be a great time to get started, especially as schedules shift and new evaluation openings become available.

Reach out to us to learn more or get on the schedule!
