CORE Occupational Therapy Services

How Can OT Help My Child?

An occupational therapist provides skilled evaluation and intervention to improve skills necessary for functional performance in daily living tasks.

This includes:

• fine motor skills

• gross motor skills

• bilateral coordination

• motor planning

• visual motor integration

• visual perception

• ocular motor skills

• sensory processing

• handwriting and expressive writing

CORE Speech Therapy Services  

How Can Speech Therapy Help My Child?  

Our team of speech-language pathologists (also known as SLPs or Speech Therapists) strive to prevent, evaluate, diagnose, and treat speech, language, swallowing/oral-motor, social communication, language literacy (dyslexia), voice, fluency (stuttering or cluttering), and cognitive-linguistic disorders across the lifespan.  Skill development can include but is not limited to the following areas: 

• Articulation/Development of Speech Sounds 

• Auditory Processing (What Our Brain Does with What Our Ears Hear) 

• Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) System Use (For Individuals That Would Benefit From Communication Support) 

• Cognitive-Linguistics (Problem-Solving, Organizing Thoughts, Attending to Auditory and Visual Information, Remembering/Recalling Details, and Planning) 

• Fluency (Rate, Rhythm, Flow of Speech) 

• Language (Understanding/Comprehension and Expression of Thoughts, Ideas, Needs, and Feelings Through Verbal and/or Nonverbal Methods of Communications) 

• Social Communication/Pragmatics (Use of Language in Functional and Socially Appropriate Ways) 

• Swallowing and Oral Function (For Safe Oral Intake of Age-Appropriate Foods and Liquids) 

• Voicing (Pitch, Loudness, Oral/Nasal Resonance) 

CORE Audiology Services 

CORE now offers testing in our Baldwin County location for diagnosis and treatment of auditory processing disorders (APD) and other hearing disorders that can have an impact on activities of daily living.  Leah Barter, MS, CCC-A, SLPA is a licensed and certified clinical audiologist with an additional state licensure as a speech-language pathology assistant. She has also completed ninety hours of coursework through the Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators for advanced training in working with individuals diagnosed with dyslexia.  Under Leah’s leadership, our audiology program strives not only to identify a client’s strengths and weaknesses but also to individualize treatment needs and provide support recommendations for individuals to achieve optimal gains across environments.
