How We Participate in Parkinson’s Research
We are research advocates for the Parkinson’s Foundation and participate in studies with the Michael J. Fox Foundation. Carol describes how we participated in a recent study.
“Ms. Carol as my son calls her is very knowledgeable, patient & kind. We’ve been going to her once a week for almost a year now and she has provided us with much help and care. She figured out that my son did not have a delay, but an oral apraxia. She has made videos to help me show my son how to say certain sounds and will take the time to help me understand. I certainly recommend Carol to anyone. My son looks forward to seeing her every week.”
“Coming to Cornerstone has been the most helpful thing for my son’s speech delay. The whole staff is beyond great but Miss Julia specifically has made such a difference for my son. We’ve seen such a huge improvement and are so grateful Early Intervention denied us and led us…here!”
"Theory of Mind"
By Carol Krakower
Theory of Mind: Learning Social Skills from the Bottom Up is a therapy plan for children with high functioning autism/Asperger’s, published by Linguisystems and written by Carol Krakower.
Theory of Mind is developing the ability to take the perspective of others. Recently published work on mirror neurons tells us that we do not think through this. Your child will learn to experience what others can see, what others can know, what others can believe.
Other social skills programs teach your child to follow social rules. This program is different. At Cornerstone Speech & Language, we believe that your child has to understand Theory of Mind first. We call it bottom-up social skills. We use games, childhood stories, costumes and dramatic play. It’s fun. It works. It can make a world of difference for your child.
“About a year ago, I took my two-year-old son to be assessed at Cornerstone Speech. He was already at Early Intervention, but I wasn’t seeing growth. We were lucky enough to have it covered by our insurance. My son has made so much progress with his speech therapist, Ms. Jaimie. Since March we’ve been doing speech via zoom. They are also seeing kids in the office again. When I first started looking for private speech therapy places, I chose this one because it was near our home. If you are looking for some extra help for your child, I highly recommend Cornerstone!”
