SLEA Therapies

Speech and occupational therapy

Up to age 21

Speech-language pathologists and occupational therapists begin with an evaluation, then build individualized, play-based plans around a child's goals and interests and coach parents on strategies for home. Speech therapy covers articulation, language, fluency, voice, feeding and social communication (making friends, conversation, expressing feelings), and the team includes AAC specialists. Occupational therapy covers fine motor skills, sensory processing, self-care and attention, and some therapists are certified in the Alert Program, Zones of Regulation, DIR/Floortime and feeding. Therapy can serve autistic children and those with language-based learning differences. The office is a CDE-certified nonpublic agency, so school districts can fund services through an IEP; the CDE list gives ages 5 to 22. The company says it is in-network for most patients and also offers private-pay contracts that need no physician referral. SLEA also offers ABA and educational therapy across its sites. Intake starts with an online request for services.
