TALK INC

THE TALK SCHOOL, IS THE NATIONS' MOST PROGRESSIVE CENTER FOR THE EDUCATION OF CHILDREN WITH AUTISM AND SPEECH/LANGUAGE DISORDERS. AS TEACHERS, THERAPISTS AND RESEARCHERS WE ARE AT THE FOREFRONT OF A NEW, MORE ACCURATE AND PERSONCENTERED UNDERSTANDING OF AUTISM. ONE THAT PRESENTS AUTISM AS A SENSORYBASED MOVEMENT DISORDER PROFOUNDLY AFFECTING LANGUAGE, SOCIAL INTERACTION AND PRAXIS. WHILE THE SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE IS JUST BEGINNING TO REFLECT THIS VIEW, THE TALK SCHOOL HAS ALWAYS RECOGNIZED THAT SENSORY AND MOVEMENT DIFFICULTIES ARE AT THE FOUNDATION OF AUTISM AND OTHER LANGUAGE DISORDERS. AS A CONSEQUENCE, TALK SCHOOL PROVIDES INTENSIVE OCCUPATIONAL AND SPEECH THERAPY TO SUPPORT A FULLDAY SYSTEMATIC, MULTISENSORY, LANGUAGEBASED CURRICULUM INCLUDING ALL ACADEMICS.
