Does Your Child Need Therapy For A Cognitive Disorder In Batavia?
Cognitive disorders in children can be extremely difficult to understand and cope with. One of the ways that cognitive disorders show up in children is through physical, social, and learning disabilities. It is vital for a parent to understand what cognitive skills are and learn how to pick up on the signs of cognitive skill deficiencies.

It’s always emotionally tough to learn your child isn’t hitting expected milestones. Luckily, we had a really great experience with our speech therapist, Andrea. My son is an extremely shy kid and she quickly got him to warm up to her in their sessions at his in-home daycare. We clearly observed his progress at home, and were impressed at how well her lessons were sticking with him. I also appreciated the fact that she was an excellent communicator and would always keep me posted on how he was doing, and what letters or phrases he had mastered saying. Andrea was kind, flexible, and was exactly who I (and my son) needed at a time when he needed speech therapy, and I needed reassurance that he was going to be OK. Highly recommend Therapy Care.

Anne Barclay is an exceptional speech therapist. Her years of experience and expertise are obvious in the way she works with me and my little boy. She has repeatably modified his therapy sessions to best suit his speech needs and his unpredictable moods. She is caring and thoughtful. She has honestly become a very important person in our lives. I would recommend her 1000%!!
