Crossroads Institute and Words to Grow On have designed 1-2-3 Grow.

1…2…3…Grow! is suggested for children 18 months to 6 years old with communication delays/disabilities and other neurodevelopment delays such as Autism Spectrum, PDD, and significant Cognitive and Language Disabilities.

This program is designed to help those children who need to “get caught up” with neurodevelopment, language
and cognitive delays. We include neurodevelopment along with targeted speech therapy and include Communication Coaching and F.A.C.E. time.

Each child participates with either a parent or caregiver during a group session. Training sessions for family members are conducted by our therapist which teaches parents/caregivers how to work on specific neurocognitive and language objectives.

We work with each child starting at their current capability level and constantly work to push their growing edge.

The environment is fun and nurturing and parents learn as much as their children during these sessions!

Language is a complex human behavior. It allows us to communicate our needs, wants, thoughts and feelings to others effectively and efficiently.

The NeuroGenisys Procedure assesses over 293 dimensions of brain activity to compile a customized Crossroads NeuroFunction Profile. This comprehensive analysis identifies specific areas of the brain which need strengthening or balancing. This information is used as a guide to re-train these specific areas of your child's brain.

In addition, conversational language sampling is an essential tool in the speech-language evaluation and on-going assessments.

This sampling helps gain insight into what your child's actually communicating capabilities are using the form (grammar), content (ideas about the world) and use (pragmatics) of language in “real-life” interactions.

This tool provides measurable, data-based direction which will help your child reach his/her full communication potential.

Crossroads Institute works at a deeper level by enhancing and stimulating involved neuro-pathways that support the speech centers as well as how the brain processes expressive output and receptive input.

We measure and monitor speech activity as it occurs, such as how the child discriminates auditorily vs. visually.

1-2-3 Grow consists of activities that exercise neuro-motor pathways that promote speech and cognitive thoughts.

Children are placed on programs designed to break up neuro-inhibitors in feedback pathways which will then promote volitional and autonomic and expressive responses.

• Auditory short term memory development
• Oral-motor development (Apraxia and Dysarthria)
• Phonetic/expressive feedback
• Articulation
