Our Philosophy
Evolution Communication Therapy, LLC is committed to making an impact on patients and their families beyond the clinical setting. We know that speech-language development is imperative for academic success and to thrive in individual communities. We promote evidence-based care that focuses on an integrated approach to therapy. We believe a treatment approach is incomplete if it solely provides treatment; it must also be directly involved in current research, education, and political advocacy.
In order for our clients to be confident communicators in their communities they must be able to understand and to make themselves understood. We encourage the practice of counseling teachers, families, and parents on a regular basis to be advocates and participants assisting patients in reaching this success. We believe that we must educate parents, families, and teachers about speech and language development to make treatment measures effective. Language is not learned in a bubble and it takes a team to help our patients reach their full potential.
