Welcome to Our FARM!
Speech FARMacy is committed to providing early intervention for autism, by offering a variety of wholistic options — exercise, fresh air, nutritious foods and other essential, evidence-based therapies. We have developed a 21-day therapeutic retreat called, ACE Autism! This program targets children between the ages of 18 months and 7 years. ACE Autism is comprised of 3 basic elements (with each containing 8 focal points), that are simultaneously incorporated into our daily training schedule: Activ8!, Communic8!, Educ8!
Activ8!
Farming routines and exercise activities are FUNdamental elements of our Agricultural Therapy program. Much time is spent outdoors. Your child will have the opportunity to harvest food, make mud pies, feed the chickens, and other fun activities. There’s lots of stuff to do on a farm!
Communic8!
Speech-Language Therapy is interwoven into daily play activities, to help stimulate further development of receptive (the ability to understand instructions) and expressive (the ability to verbalize thoughts, feelings and/or ideas) language skills.
Educ8!
Children and caregivers will be educated and trained to practice eight healthy living principles. These concepts are built into the daily schedule, using modified ABA Therapy. Healthy living tends to help relieve some of the gastrointestinal issues that are commonly experienced by autistic children.
