Speech & Occupational
Therapy That
Works Together
Pediatric speech-language therapy and occupational therapy for children ages 0–15 — delivered in intensive cycles, integrated with ABA, and built around what your child actually needs.
Speech-Language Therapy
& Occupational Therapy
Two disciplines, one coordinated team. When your child needs both, our providers share goals, share data, and meet weekly to talk about your child by name.
Speech-Language Therapy
Our speech-language pathologists work with children on communication, language, social interaction, and feeding — using evidence-based approaches matched to each child’s age, profile, and goals.
- Early language development and expressive/receptive language delays
- Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC)
- Articulation, phonology, and speech clarity
- Social communication and pragmatic language skills
- Fluency (stuttering) and voice
- Self-advocacy and complex communication (teens)
- Literacy foundations and reading-language connections
Occupational Therapy
Our occupational therapists help children develop the foundational skills they need to participate fully in daily life — from self-care and sensory processing to fine motor development, handwriting, and executive function.
- Sensory processing and sensory integration (97533)
- Fine motor development and therapeutic exercise (97110)
- Handwriting, visual-motor integration, and pencil skills
- Activities of daily living and self-care (97535)
- Feeding and oral motor skills (specialized clinic available)
- Executive function and organizational strategies (school age)
- Life skills and vocational readiness (adolescents)
Children We Work With
Our clinical team has experience across a wide range of developmental, behavioral, and learning profiles. Every child receives an individualized assessment and program plan.
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Communication, sensory processing, social skills, daily living — comprehensive, coordinated support integrated with ABA across all three age-band tracks.
Language Delays & Disorders
Expressive and receptive language delays, late talkers, language processing disorders, and children who use AAC to communicate.
Sensory Processing
Sensory over- or under-responsivity, sensory-seeking behavior, and the attention, regulation, and participation challenges that often accompany them.
Developmental Coordination Disorder
Motor planning difficulties, clumsiness, handwriting challenges, and fine motor delays that affect academic and daily function.
Feeding Difficulties
Food aversion, texture hypersensitivity, oral motor challenges, and restricted eating profiles — addressed through our specialized Feeding Clinic.
Social Communication
Pragmatic language, reading social cues, perspective-taking, conversation skills — for school-age children and adolescents navigating peer relationships.
ADHD & Executive Function
Task initiation, attention, organization, and the sensory regulation challenges that frequently co-occur with ADHD.
Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities
Functional communication, daily living skills, and participation goals — individualized to the child’s profile and family priorities.
Articulation & Phonology
Speech sound errors, phonological processes, and intelligibility — from early childhood through school age, with parent coaching at every stage.
Intensive Cycles. Real Results.
Rather than indefinite weekly therapy with no clear endpoint, ExcelLearning delivers OT and speech therapy in research-backed intensive blocks. Every cycle has a purpose — and so does every break.
Intensive Block
Minimum 2 sessions per week — approximately 16 sessions. Goals are active, data is collected at every session, and carryover strategies are introduced to families.
Home Program
Families implement structured strategies at home while skills consolidate neurologically. A provider check-in ensures families feel supported. This phase is active treatment — not a break.
Return Block
The cycle begins again with new targets built on skills mastered in the first block. Progress is assessed, goals are updated, and intensity continues.
Discharge or Re-Eval
Clear endpoints. When goals are met, families graduate. When new challenges emerge, a full re-evaluation establishes the next set of priorities.
Why this model works
The ExcelLearning cycle model is grounded in motor learning research (Schmidt & Lee) and speech-language acquisition evidence showing that intensive massed practice followed by structured consolidation periods produces faster, more durable skill development than continuous low-dose treatment delivered once weekly. The home program phase leverages the same neurological consolidation principles used in elite athletic training — and the research is clear: it works.
When OT & Speech Work
From the Same Plan
Your child doesn’t experience their challenges in separate boxes. At ExcelLearning, when a child’s program includes both OT and speech therapy, those services share goals, share data, and are delivered by a team that talks.

Shared Goal Architecture
OT and ST goals are written together, not in parallel — so every provider is moving toward the same functional outcomes for your child.
Weekly Team Huddles
Providers review your child’s progress together on a regular basis. Your child is discussed by name — not just tracked in a system.
Single Learner Record
One intake, one record, accessible to every provider on the team. No faxing notes between offices. No repeating the same history.
Caregiver Coaching Built In
Integration extends into the home. Every discipline includes family coaching so the strategies your child practices in sessions carry into daily life.
Focused. Time-Limited.
Built Around Real Needs.
Sometimes a child doesn’t need ongoing weekly therapy — they need an intensive, structured program targeting a specific skill area with a clear beginning and end. Our specialty clinics deliver exactly that.
Pediatric Feeding Clinic
For children who struggle with food aversion, texture hypersensitivity, or restricted eating, mealtimes can become a source of daily stress and nutritional concern. Standard advice to “keep offering” doesn’t address the underlying sensory and motor challenges. Our Feeding Clinic does.
Led by an occupational therapist with specialized training in feeding and sensory integration, the program uses graduated food exposure in a small group setting — where peer modeling becomes a powerful therapeutic tool.
Handwriting Group
Handwriting difficulties are one of the most common referrals to pediatric OT — and one of the most treatable. Handwriting is a learned motor skill, not a fixed trait, and a structured progressive intervention makes a measurable difference.
Our Handwriting Group targets the foundational skills behind legible, efficient writing in small groups of 4–6 children at similar developmental levels. Two sessions per week in a focused 6–8 week block.
ST & OT Across
Every Stage of Childhood
Our clinical tracks are built around developmental stage — not just diagnosis. Speech and occupational therapy goals shift meaningfully as children grow, and our programs reflect that.

Questions Families Ask First
How is ExcelLearning different from school-based speech or OT services?
Does my child need both OT and speech therapy, or can they receive just one?
What is the 8-week intensive cycle and why does it work?
What ages do you serve, and do you have programs for teenagers?
Do you accept insurance? What about Medicaid?
What is the Feeding Clinic and who is it for?
How do I get started? What does the intake process look like?
