Services at TRS Learning Center

TRS Learning Center provides assessments, consultations, specialized therapies, and learning support for children from birth until adulthood. Our philosophy is to provide services based on an interdisciplinary approach in treatment and tutoring tailored to the individual needs of each child. TRS Learning Center provides the following services: Speech Therapy: We work on language stimulation as well as the production of speech. Therapy objectives vary according to the individual’s needs and abilities. Sessions are performed individually or in small groups. Speech and language therapy plans focus on improving the following skill areas: Receptive Language Expressive Language Pragmatic or Social Skills Articulation Oral Motor Skills Feeding Skills Fluency Voice Feeding Therapy: Our Feeding therapy provides multidisciplinary specialized services to address feeding difficulties as a result of a variety of challenges including: fussy eating, sensory sensitivities, restricted diets, medical issues and behavioral difficulties. Clinicians will also work to develop oral motor skills and self-feeding skills as needed. Physical Therapy: Our physical therapists help improve strength, ability to move and function. The physical therapists at TRS Learning Center have the expertise and specially sized equipment needed to work with growing children, from the very smallest babies to teen athletes. Occupational Therapy: We address skill development in an activity-based setting. Sessions are performed individually or in small groups. Consultation with teachers and other therapists is provided to further integrate therapeutic goals into the child’s daily program. Therapeutic intervention is also used to augment the school curriculum to develop those underlying skills important for learning. Such skills include, but are not limited to: Sensory-motor processing Visual motor and visual perceptual skills Fine motor coordination Gross-motor skills Activities of daily living Sensory Integration Therapy: Our Sensory Integration Therapy aims at improving the way a child's brain responds to and makes use of sensory information and how this is used to plan, co-ordinate and organize movement. It also has a positive effect on self-confidence and self-esteem. Our Sensory Integration Therapy uses enhanced sensory in-put combined with planned motor out-put through which a child experiences success. The emphasis is non-cognitive which means that we work with the child's reactions rather than practice specific skills. Applied Behavior Analysis Therapy(ABA): Our ABA Therapy Program is managed through a certified and trained ABA therapist who is certified by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BCBA). Applied Behavior analysis (ABA) focuses on the principles that explain how learning takes place. Positive reinforcement is one such principle. When a behavior is followed by some sort of reward, the behavior is more likely to be repeated. We use the Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to bring about meaningful and positive change in behavior. Our ABA therapy sessions can involve one-on-one interaction between the therapist and the child or in a small group instruction. All areas of development are covered including speech and language, social skills, play and cognitive skills, motor and independent living skills. Psycho-Educational Assessment: We offer Psych-Educational Assessments to help the child who is experiencing problems within an educational setting with the aim of enhancing his/her learning. Challenges may include social or emotional problems or learning difficulties. We work with the individual child, parents and teachers to reach the maximum potential of each child. Psych-Educational assessments involve the evaluation of the child using observation, interviews and test materials. These assessments are translated into appropriate educational interventions plans (when necessary) in collaborative work with the special educators in addition to learning and reading programs with the direct involvement of parents and school teachers. Learning Support: We implement Educational Intervention Plans as a result of the Psych-Educational assessment. We offer Learning Support for every child who requires additional support to be successful in their school setting or any child who has difficulty in a regular classroom setting. Tutoring: We assist and guide the child become an independent learner who can do the work independently. Our Tutoring program aims to supplement what is done in the classroom and during an individual's study time, not substitute for it. We utilize strategies, such as reviewing class materials, discussing the text, working on sample problems, and predicting test questions. Reading and Writing Programs: We offer reading and writing programs using multi-sensory approaches.
