Free Preschool Screenings

We have partnered with many preschools and day care centers to provide FREE developmental screenings. We provide all of the forms for the teachers and parents, and our qualified therapist will go to the facility and perform a simple screening to determine which children qualify for further evaluation. Fundamental Communications assists the preschool directors, teachers, and parents during the entire process to ensure that all students are comfortable and safe.

Pediatric Therapy

All of our therapists are licensed and certified BabyNet providers, and they are experienced in sensory integration, Autism approaches, Apraxia, feeding, and a variety of disorders and delays. Several of our therapists have received advanced therapy training in the PROMPT method, which utilizes touch cues to a patient’s jaw, tongue, and lips to manually guide them through a targeted word, phrase, or sentence. Our therapists work around the child’s schedule in the location where they are most comfortable.

Individual Therapy Sessions

Our trained therapists incorporate a multi-sensory approach to help each child meet their individual goals. Our therapists see children ages 0 to 18 years old in their most natural environment, whether that be in their preschool or daycare, their own home, their caretaker’s home, or at our centrally-located clinic. We also empower families to reinforce therapeutic activities which best accommodate their child’s learning style.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my child needs therapy?

First and foremost, have you or your child’s doctor or your friends noticed any delays in your child’s development? If so and your child is 0-3 years old, you can contact BabyNet to schedule an initial evaluation to determine if your child needs early intervention or therapy. If your child is older than 3, you can contact Child Find to start the screening process to determine if your child needs services. 

Fundamental Communications also offers free speech and language screenings to determine if your child will qualify for services. Please feel free to contact us to schedule a screening.

How do I pay for therapy?

We accept SC Medicaid, Health Savings Accounts, Tricare, and private pay. We have an in-house billing specialist who can answer any questions you may have about payment.

Do I have to bring my child to your clinic every week?

No! Based on your location and our available therapists, your child will have the option to receive therapy at the location where they spend the majority of their time and where they feel most comfortable. We have therapists available all over the Upstate.
