About us
Our mission at the Davies Institute for Speech and Hearing is to help children and students, but also to help families. At DISH, we believe in utilizing a systemic family approach that teaches children, parents, and family members how to move through the early education and developmental journey. From newborn hearing screenings, to college acceptance letters, our goal is to provide your child with the best education, and to provide parents with the best resources to help them along the way. Parents and children will work directly with teachers, speech therapists, audiologists, and/or physical and occupational therapists based on their child's individual needs. Our staff works together WITH the families in order to keep constant communication on child development and progress throughout the year. Come join our family, as we guide yours through a seamless transition throughout the world of early education.

Does your child with autism experience difficulty with trick or treating? Here are some tips on how to help your child stay safe and regulated and to communicate effectively and efficiently while trick or treating: 1. Talk through your trick or treating experience before you start. Many children feel comfort in knowing what to expect from new experiences, and what is expected of them. 2. Practice, role play, or watch a video. Practice trick or treating at home. Watch a video and talk about what the children are doing in the video. Pretend to be a home owner, and develop a script for your child to use at each house. 3. Consider your child's communication. Does your child communicate verbally? If so, practice what to say at each house. Does your child use alternative means of communication, such as ASL or AAC? Is your child verbal but freezes under pressure? Would holding a sign that says "trick or treat" help alleviate the pressure to perform? 4. Consider transitions from house to house. Does your child have a tendency to elope in new situations? Would it be easier to drive to each house or pull them along in a wagon? Is it safer to visit just a few houses close to your own instead of an entire neighborhood? Practice safety first, and above all: 5. Have fun! Make the experience enjoyable. If your child is not ready to go trick or treating, perhaps they can watch other children trick or treat. Maybe your child would prefer to hand out candy. Maybe your child does not want to wear a costume for sensory reasons. The goal is to enjoy the experience.

Skip to my lo! How to break down the steps of skipping. First practice standing on one leg (single leg balance) Then, hop up and forward while landing on that same foot Next, place that foot on the ground to switch feet. Last, repeat with the other side! Up, Hop, Down and Switch! Skipping is an asymmetrical movement pattern that requires coordination, balance, postural control and motor planning. If skipping is too tricky, practice cross crawls (touching opposite elbow and knee) to prepare the body for asymmetrical movements!
