Who?
Advanced Therapy of America (ATA) is a team of experienced Speech-Language Pathologists and Occupational Therapists who have designed a specialized treatment approach called OccuSpeech®. This program was created for children who are unable to respond to traditional speech therapy environments requiring them to sit at a table and participate in therapeutic activities. OccuSpeech® is an interdisciplinary approach combining interventions for sensory integration and speech therapy simultaneously. The therapists work together to provide a sensory-rich experience with a goal of helping every child to succeed despite challenges in behavior, attention, and regulation.
