Specialist Speech Therapy Service 

When it comes to complex needs, experience matters. When it comes to speech therapy, you'll notice. It's different here. 

Why? 

  • ABI ONLY treats severe and profound patients.

  • All therapists on the team are trained in Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and severe feeding and swallowing disorders. 

  • We focus our therapy on two very important aspects: 

    • Family-Centered Care

    • Parent/Caregiver Empowerment 

  • We believe in treating the whole patient with a holistic approach. ​

Specialist Occupational Therapy 

Access Methods 

Our team of Occupational Therapists work closely with our Speech Language Pathologists (SLP) and often, sessions will be co-treatments.

At ABI we believe in teamwork because we've seen the outcomes that result. We know clear and concise communication between ALL team members (including patients and caregivers) is vital to helping patients with Complex Communication Needs (CCN) to communicate and patients with complex medical needs to thrive. 

The Occupational Therapists at ABI are specifically trained to support and guide the other teams members in all aspects of:

  • Access Methods

  • Fine Motor

  • Visual Processing Skills.

  • Orthotics 

  • Sensory Integration

Specialist Physical Therapy 

Seating & Mobility 

At ABI we pride ourselves in making sure equipment is both comfortable and functional. 

Our PT team is one of the most experienced in the state and collectively has a long history of working with the most vulnerable Nevada patients. They are lifelong learners, educators, and healthcare leaders in their communities. You'll hear things like ATP, RESNA, and DPT and for our patients, those mean education and experience you can trust. 

Physical therapists may work on things like: 

  • Power Mobility 

  • Pediatric Myofascial Release 

  • Gait Training 

  • Stander Training

Specialist Services 

  • Speech Generating Device Services: 

    • We offer independent, interdisciplinary assessments to identify appropriate assistive technology, seating/ mobility and access methods for patients with physical and/or communication impairments to support their communication and learning.

  • Gestalt Language Processing Therapy: 

    • ​The primary objective of speech therapy for children who are gestalt language learners is to develop self-generated language skills. Effective intervention for gestalt language focuses on targeting language abilities in natural and engaging contexts. A skilled speech-language pathologist typically incorporates child-led play and the child's personal interests to facilitate language development. Attaining proficiency in gestalt language requires time, active involvement from caregivers, and consistent effort. This can be achieved through engaging in activities and playing with items that the child finds enjoyable.

  • Specialist Behavior Management 

    • At ABI our Behavior Management Program is unique to our clinic. We are supportive of what every family believes is the best option for them and their child.  We focus on having both Behavior Analyst and the SLP work in collaboration with each other directly and indirectly to assure the best outcome for your child.

  • Parent Empowerment Coaching

    • The Parent Empowerment Program is our revolutionary approach at ABI. Written by our very own CEO and Founder, this innovative self-study program with online group coaching is designed to equip you with powerful tools and strategies for meaningful communication.
       

  • COMING SOON - We are actively working on partnerships and programs to allow us to provide social work, counseling, neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry, and  other specialists so that patients and their families have access to the most resources possible in one convenient location.
