About
Martie
I always loved working with children and knew I didn't want to be a classroom teacher. Speech therapy allows me the opportunity to work with children and their families and there are so many different avenues in the field, that It's impossible to get bored!
Everyone has strengths. It's about helping a child recognize their strengths and use them during times of difficulty. Educating a child on the fact that everyone has a different learning style empowers them and helps them to feel confident. This impacts a child's life significantly and contributes toward the adult they become - it's so powerful!
How can it hurt? If your child is identified as having a need, your input matters and the areas targeted should help your family better function as a unit. If you start services and you don't feel it's working, then you can stop at any point! Also, be sure to find a provider that connects with your child - therapeutic services should support your child and build their confidence. Ask for a different provider if necessary, after all, we all connect with different people.
