Literacy Videos


1.  Explicit Embedded Book Sharing.  See one of our therapists working with a preschool child building his early reading and speech skills.  This approach assures children with speech problems start school with good talking skills and the reading readiness skills necessary to assure life success.  When a child is seen for speech therapy, our therapists make sure your child learns better speech skills and the reading readiness skills that are essential to help parents assure their child's school success.

2. Using Book Sharing As A Therapy Approach.  This video shows how books are used as a therapy treatment with preschool children to help them acquire better speech and language skills. This highly specialized treatment approach is routinely used when we work with children in speech therapy.  Our skilled therapists have developed easy and simple ways to help parents and teachers learn how to utilize books as a speech treatment approach at home and in the classroom settings.

3.  Did You Know?  In this compelling video we see how global changes in education are challenging students in America to compete for jobs in the future.  This video adds a special urgency to the importance of high quality services to children with speech and language needs.
