Our therapists are encouraged to join a Clinical Practice Area if interested to deepen their knowledge and experience in one or more specialties. Some of our therapists choose this option while others continue to develop a broader set of skills and experiences as a Generalist.
These Clinical Practice Areas are terrific ways for therapists to meet and network with other professionals in their specialty, as well as to earn additional financial assistance for training and CEUs. As part of our commitment to our community, as our therapists advance in their Practice Area, National Therapy Center donates to the community charity of their choice. We also offer several opportunities to continue their professional development through professional training, conferences, in-office trainings and regular staff meetings.
We have relationships with many of the colleges and universities in the area for internships and continuing education.
“La Clínica Bilingüe trabaja para aumentar el acceso al servicio y la calidad de la atención para los niños bilingües y sus familias en la comunidad local. La clínica incorpora equidad e inclusión en las sesiones de terapia y proporciona materiales y recursos educativos a familias y profesionales. Además, la Clínica Bilingüe aboga firmemente por preservar la diversidad lingüística de nuestros clientes y cultivar la conciencia en las comunidades multiculturales sobre los beneficios cognitivos y sociales del bilingüismo.
Nuestro Enfoque
La terapia del habla bilingüe brinda la oportunidad a los niños que hablan dos o más idiomas de concentrarse en mejorar sus retrasos en el habla y el lenguaje, no en los errores comunes que son una parte natural del desarrollo del segundo idioma. Los sonidos del habla y las reglas del lenguaje varían según los idiomas, por lo que la terapeuta identificará los procesos compartidos del habla y del lenguaje en inglés y español, para discernir cuáles son los errores naturales o atípicos del segundo idioma.
Los terapeutas se centran en la prestación de servicios equitativa y están capacitados para reconocer los prejuicios culturales durante las evaluaciones y tener en cuenta qué información podría ser desconocida según sus sus antecedentes. Los terapeutas utilizan prácticas basadas en la evidencia para niños bilingües durante el tratamiento en el idioma que usan con más frecuencia y al que están expuestos. Los padres reciben herramientas y estrategias vitales, en su idioma nativo, y están capacitados para continuar apoyando el desarrollo de la comunicación del habla y el lenguaje de sus hijos.”
Does any industry face a more complex audience journey and marketing sales process than B2B technology? Consider the number of people who influence a sale, the length of the decision-making cycle, the competing interests of the people who purchase, implement, manage, and use the technology. It’s a lot meaningful content here.
