Intervention is a complex process and often changes over time as the client develops new skills.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Parent Training\/Follow Through<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">All clients are closely monitored throughout the treatment process until they are able to demonstrate functional skills in their activities of daily living. Educating parents and caregivers plays an important role in the generalization of newly acquired or rehabilitated skills. Clients will have access to seminars, literature, and\/or in-home training in order to achieve the optimal benefits of intervention.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-1 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"boldgrid-section\">\n<div class=\"container-fluid\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"boldgrid-section\">\n<div class=\"container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"boldgrid-section\">\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\" style=\"padding-top: 80px; padding-bottom: 20px;\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12 col-xs-12 col-sm-12\">\n<h2 class=\"\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Contact<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Stop in today and see what we can do for you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"margin-top: 20px; text-align: center;\"><a class=\"button-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/expressions-slp.com\/contact-us\/\">Contact Us<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who We Are Expressions Speech Therapy is a private speech language pathology clinic, owned and operated by Erin Densmore and Stacy DeRenard.
