The Ely Center is an evolving social-communication therapy center which features speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, dance/movement, exercise and nutrition training. Our mission is to enhance each client’s health and wellness. We achieve this by working as a team to explicitly teach and facilitate the individual client’s social language development, language processing, sensory, fine and gross motor, nutrition, and physical conditioning needs. Pragmatic language processing deficits impact academic performance as well as social communication abilities, across the curriculum in school and through social interactions within the individual’s community. Our program features dialogue with staff regarding service delivery/treatment motives, methods, and outcomes for this unique and fast growing neurologically challenged population.

Mission Statement:

At The Ely Center, we strive to create an environment that is best suited to introduce, establish, and hone the foundation skills of social communication via a functional-interactive training program from the training perspective of the Speech and Language Pathologist. We believe that the individuals we service, regardless of their diagnosis (Asperger’s Syndrome, Nonverbal Learning Disability, PDD-NOS, Language Learning Disability, or no diagnosis), will make substantial gains, when provided with:

• A small group (3-6 students)
• A homogeneous environment of same type peers
• Clearly stated objectives
• Flexibility
• Creativity
• A high degree of home to private practice communication
• A holistic approach to pragmatic language processing, health, and wellness

Each treatment session is carefully planned, keeping in mind that the students we service, typically need skill building and reinforcement in the following areas:

• Sensory Integration
• Executive Functioning
• Social-Communication Skills
