About Wolfe Speech Therapy Plus
We are a small private practice that offers children and young adults academic, occupational, and speech therapy to improve literacy and learning life skills such as eating, dressing, and hygiene, self-regulation, and communication. We embrace a whole-child perspective by identifying the child's neurological strengths and weaknesses, then implementing a multi-modality treatment plan that fosters brain growth.
We value a client-centered approach to deepen family's understanding of the child's functional levels and facilitate progress. Those who are essential to the client's daily life are invited to observe and/or participate in therapy. Parents, siblings, behavioral therapists, in-home counselors, grandparents, and childcare workers have shared in the therapeutic process.

The occupational therapy process includes an OT evaluation before care starts. Here are the four steps your family can expect when starting occupational therapy:
Complete OT evaluation. An occupational therapist first identifies your strengths and needs through a thorough OT evaluation, also known as an OT assessment or screening. You’ll answer questions about you your skills, and you will most likely demonstrate these skills via hands-on activities with the therapist. Evaluations can last 30 minutes to a couple hours.
Approve OT plan. The therapist develops a care plan with individualized goals and customized interventions based on your needs. You can also share any specific goals or concerns before approving the OT plan.
Start therapy sessions. The therapist works directly with you, using various strategies and exercises to systematically improve areas of limitations and to build upon your strengths. If there are others part of your care team, the therapist may teach strategies for supporting your individualized needs at home and may recommend tools and techniques to use at home, in the community, or in the classroom to help you thrive.
