Elizondo, Director of Catching Up Therapy. The conversation examines why speech, occupational therapy, behavioral therapy, and feeding fall apart when they\u2019re treated as separate services, and what changes when one team handles them under one roof. Denise breaks down the behaviors schools call \u201cbad\u201d that are really communication signals a child doesn\u2019t have the words for yet, the difference between a child who can speak and a child who can communicate, and why feeding groups work in ways individual sessions don\u2019t. The conversation goes further than therapy. Denise hires adults with IDD at her clinic through partnerships with Best Buddies and the WOW Center, sits on the executive board of Casa Familia\u2019s Young Professionals Board on affordable housing for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and tells parents what they should be paying attention to about their child\u2019s future employment long before high school ends.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udccd Connect with Denise at Catching Up Therapy:<\/p>\n<p>Online: <a href=\"https:\/\/catchinguptherapy.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/catchinguptherapy.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Office: 305-501-1513<\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfe0 If you\u2019re thinking about buying or selling a home in Miami, or simply need experienced guidance, Victor Antunez delivers expert service and personalized support to help you achieve your goals.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcf2 To get started text or call Victor at 305.401.622<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udf10 Online at <a href=\"http:\/\/victorantunez.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">victorantunez.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more shows, visit: cnewstv.com<\/p>\n<p>ABOUT US:<\/p>\n<p>Miami Community Newspapers is your go-to source for Miami community news, offering daily updates, podcasts, and multimedia content.
