Julie Pera, speech-language pathologist and owner of Many Gifts Speech & Language Therapy values compassion, collaboration and creativity as the foundation for effective therapy. Caregivers can expect to be treated as a respected member of their child’s team, beginning with the initial consultation and assessment. Caregiver involvement in sessions allows for the ongoing exchange of information about the child’s strengths, areas of interest and daily routines, which is critical for making the therapy process meaningful and motivating. Our intervention process includes direct therapy, opportunities for discussing progress and asking questions, and coaching to support home practice and self-advocacy. It is our hope that this will be the beginning of a lifelong relationship with our clients and families in which they will feel confident about reaching out to us to share accomplishments to be celebrated and concerns to be addressed.
