Speech and language services through Meaningful Day Services, Inc. (MDS)
have the advantage of serving clients in their homes and throughout the
community. Home-based services provide the advantage of facilitating and
improving communication skills with clients in their natural language settings.
Speech/Language Pathologists (SLPs) can assess the skills and needs of each
individual in their daily environments, and include therapy tools and
techniques that are appropriate for that person’s immediate and long term
needs. Services can also be expanded to meet clients’ communication needs in
various community settings, or in an office setting when deemed appropriate.
Speech/Language Pathologists work with individuals who present a wide
variety of disorders. Adults and children who have Down syndrome, autism,
cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, stroke, swallowing disorders, and
developmental delays are some who can benefit from communication
therapies. An SLP can provide direct therapy to improve the speech and
language skills of an individual; help determine the need for any augmentative
or assistive communication device; and/or teach manual and gesture-based
forms of communication, depending on the client’s needs. The basic premise of
communication therapy should always be that the happiness, dignity and
respect of each individual are enhanced by the ability to communicate in some
effective manner with the people in their family and community. The goal of
MDS speech and language services is that each client be provided with and
trained in optimal methods of communication.
An SLP can also provide consultation for inclusion of individuals in school,
work, and community settings. It is often necessary to have specific
communication support for such settings in order for the client to be successful.
Ongoing coordination of speech/language services with other therapists and
caregivers is also paramount for the individual to experience successful
communication across all facets of their life. The MDS therapist is free to be
involved in all settings.
Meaningful Day Services, Inc. offers Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy,
First Steps, Music Therapy, Recreational Therapy, Behavior Therapy, and
Counseling for individuals with special needs, through private pay, and under
Medicaid and Medicaid Waiver.
