Today is World Kindness Day!
This day highlights doing good deeds in our community and is celebrated by performing acts of kindness, such as donating books, food, or clothing to local communities and pledging to empathize with other individuals. Let's focus on the positivity around us and learn, teach, and share our kindness with others. One great habit of kindness is to aim to give at least one person a compliment daily. How are you spreading kindness?

November is Prematurity Awareness Month and many of us at North Florida Therapy Associates have been directly impacted by premature births and worked with many preemies throughout the years.

Did you know that each year, 1 in 10 babies is born prematurely? Anything before 37 weeks of gestation is considered premature and can have lasting impacts on the child throughout their lives.

It's so important for us to know your child's medical and birth history so that we can work to formulate a plan of care that will benefit your child and your family. We are here to help your family with your preemie and work with them to achieve their personal best goals, every step of the way.

Welcome to North Florida Therapy Associates!

We are the premier speech therapy practice in Orange Park, Florida, serving people of all ages and abilities in the greater Jacksonville area. For over 10 years, we have been leading the area in the most innovative speech therapy techniques and providing support to individuals, children and their families both in the clinical setting and at home. It is our belief that everyone has the capacity to learn to communicate effectively to the best of their abilities, even if it is one syllable at a time. Our goal is to work collaboratively with clients to develop the best and most productive plan of care to be implemented both in our facility and at home. This enables a child to successfully participate in the most developmentally appropriate activities within family, social-emotional, and academic settings. For our adult clients, a comprehensive approach to treatment facilitates rapid progress.

In addition to our private individual therapy sessions, North Florida Therapy Associates provides a full range of services to those with speech, language, voice, oral-motor, and swallowing/feeding disorders. Melissa Gillmer, M.S., CCC-SLP is recognized by the national organization, Apraxia Kids, for advanced training and expertise in Childhood Apraxia of Speech. Our office performs highly in-depth screenings, consultations, and evaluations for use in our private treatment as well as in collaboration with schools, physicians, and other certified specialists.
