Congratulations to BobbiRhea Cooper, who was recently named a lead technician in our applied behavior analysis program!

Lead techs are ABA team members who consistently demonstrate outstanding performance, experience, professionalism, and proven success in handling advanced responsibilities. Among other tasks, lead techs help train staff and serve as their mentors.

Bobbi studied at St. Clair College before joining KCC, where she earned certification as a registered behavior technician (RBT). In addition to being an integral part of our ABA team, she is also a classically trained musician.

Spring break is right around the corner and (despite how it feels right now) summer isn’t too far after that. For many families, both seasons mean traveling, which can be very tricky with kids. That’s especially true for those who have diagnoses such as autism or sensory processing difficulties.

Never fear, our speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and behavior analysts have some genius tips to make your time on the road easier on everyone. For details on the tips listed here, visit kidspeech.com/travel.

BEFORE YOU GO
🔸Countdown on the calendar (or make your own)
🔸Talk about how you’ll get there and what to expect while traveling
🔸Make simple sequence stories with each part of the trip

SMART STUFF TO PACK
🔸Gum to combat nausea
🔸Relaxing music
🔸Tactile fidgets to keep little hands busy
🔸Weighted blankets or lap pads
🔸Ear protection for noisy environments

ACTIVITIES TO CALM KIDS
🔸Arm push-ups on chairs or walls
🔸Deep-pressure hugs and squeezes
🔸Frog jumps or jumping jacks
🔸Pushing or pulling luggage

SENSORY SUPPORTS
🔸Simple activities like puzzles, blocks, and putty
🔸Sticker books, coloring books, or dry-erase boards to encourage fine-motor tasks
🔸Clothespins to clip around child’s area for an easy scavenger hunt

ENSURING SAFETY
🔸Door alarms so kids don’t leave rooms without you knowing
🔸Contact info on wrist bands in case kids get lost
🔸Consider a GPS tracking device if your child tends to wander or bolt

Kids with Challenges Become Champions at the KCC!

The Kaufman Children’s Center for Speech, Language, Sensory-Motor and Autism Treatment is an award-winning and internationally recognized pediatric private practice located in West Bloomfield, Michigan. We offer speech-language and occupational/sensory-motor therapy, as well as applied behavior analysis (ABA) autism programs, social skills groups, and many more services that help kids live their very best lives.

The KCC is also the home base of speech-language pathologist Nancy R. Kaufman, our owner/director and renowned expert in childhood apraxia of speech. When she’s not working with local, out-of-state, and even international families who come to the center for her evaluations and intensive programs, she travels the world teaching fellow SLPs how to best help kids using her Kaufman Speech to Language Protocol (K-SLP). Realizing that one therapy approach does NOT fit all, the Kaufman Children’s Center creates an individualized treatment program for each child. Our center houses a staff of extensively trained, talented speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, board-certified behavior analysts, and ABA technicians who work together as a team for the best interests of each child.

The KCC’s reputation for successful outcomes caused us to outgrow our facility and expand into a neighboring building in early 2018. Our “K2” location is right across the parking lot and geared specifically toward children with autism spectrum disorders. This expansion has allowed us to move dozens of children off our ABA wait list and into programs that will bring about meaningful changes in their lives.

Specialized and innovative therapeutic methods include: The Kaufman Speech to Language Protocol (K-SLP) Speech and language therapy Applied behavior analysis (ABA)/verbal behavior Occupational therapy Sensory integration therapy Social language skills groups for many age ranges Specialized feeding & oral-motor programs Craniosacral therapy Fast ForWord® cognitive training Handwriting Without Tears® Interactive Metronome® Therapeutic Listening® We are here to help! Contact us if you have concerns about your child’s speech, language, sensory, motor, or social development. We are always happy to address your questions by phone, and if needed schedule an evaluation.
