Spellers Center Tampa

If you are local to the Tampa location, we recommend scheduling spelling for communication sessions on a weekly basis.

For families that are semi-local, the option also exists to schedule bi-weekly or monthly recurring sessions.

The two greatest contributing factors to how long it takes for an individual to master spelling is the complexity of their sensory-motor profile and the resources (time, energy, finances) to consistently come to sessions and practice at home.

We firmly believe that every student can do this with time, that timeline just may look different depending on your family’s specific situation, and that’s ok! Even if this is not the time or season where your family is able to come weekly or practice consistently, we are here to support you through your entire journey.

That said, our goal with scheduling is to maximize the support we can give you and your child as practitioners without compromising or exhausting your resources.

Likewise, you don’t have to know the end from the beginning. If you’re unsure about how you’d like to schedule, give us a call or schedule a single session—we’d be happy to chat with you or make a recommendation after seeing your child for that initial session.

Spelling sessions run for a total of 50 minutes, during which your practitioner will work with your child through an engaging, age-appropriate lesson working on purposeful motor skills, cognitive goals, improved regulation and overall stamina for sustained communication. In addition, the practitioner will also coach you as a parent/caregiver to be a communication regulation partner. Get ready to finally hear your child’s voice!

SC Tampa has highly skilled occupational therapists that will support your spellers intentional motor skills for everyday life! Everything from daily motor tasks to self-regulation strategies, our therapists address areas of need related to activities of daily living (self-care skills, chores around the house, etc.), recreation, fitness, school and job related skills.

If you are visiting from out of town we are happy to set up intentional movement assessments around your spelling sessions so you can leave feeling confident about your home program and strategies for both communication and daily life.
