Our Approach to Therapy
Evidence-Based, Engaging, and Collaborative
Therapy at AstiNova is designed to make communication feel natural and rewarding. Whether working with students in schools or children in private sessions, we combine research-backed strategies with a flexible, individualized approach that meets learners where they are.
Our therapy focuses on:
Building functional communication skills that carry over to daily life
Incorporating play, movement, and meaningful routines
Collaborating with teachers, families, and caregivers for consistency
Using data-driven progress tracking to guide each session
Every session blends connection, confidence, and growth—because progress isn’t just about goals on paper; it’s about helping each student find their voice and use it with purpose.
Speech Therapy
Clearer Sounds. Stronger Confidence.
Speech therapy at AstiNova helps children and students improve clarity, accuracy, and confidence in their speech. Every session is individualized and engaging—building the motor, auditory, and cognitive skills needed for effective communication.
Areas we address include:
Articulation & phonological disorders
Speech sound development delays
Oral motor and phonemic awareness skills
Fluency and voice differences
Through play-based and functional activities, we make practice feel natural—so progress carries over into classrooms, conversations, and everyday life.
Language Therapy
Understanding, Expression, and Connection.
Language therapy focuses on helping learners strengthen how they understand and use language across settings. Our approach combines evidence-based strategies with meaningful interaction—because language growth happens through connection.
Areas we address include:
Receptive language (understanding questions, directions, and vocabulary)
Expressive language (using words, grammar, and sentence structure)
Narrative and academic language (retelling, organizing ideas, and vocabulary expansion)
Social and pragmatic communication skills
We tailor every session to the learner’s goals—helping them build strong language foundations for success at home, in school, and in life.
