Our Philosophy
At MCSHC, we believe that the family is the key ingredient to successful intervention, whether for children with developmental delays, or adults recovering from a brain injury or dealing with a loss of hearing. We provide family-focused evaluations and therapy. For children, this means that parents attend the sessions with their children. A spouse, close friends or other caregivers may accompany adults. By playing an active role in the evaluation and therapy sessions, family members gain a better understanding of the communication needs of their loved one.
