Many children who receive speech therapy also receive ABA. Did you know that our very own speech therapist, Penny Tonn, M.S., CCC-SLP, provides support in conjunction with ABA therapy as part of our Day Treatment program? Contact our office to find out more!
If your child receives ABA therapy, you could sit on the committee that makes decisions about the competency and qualifications of your child’s providers. We would love for someone from our Tukwila or Tacoma clinics to sit on this committee!
