Specializing in Pediatric Speech-Language and Occupational Therapy!
The Sierra Therapy Group is a team of speech-language pathologists & occupational therapists committed to improving children's speech-language and life/adaptive skills. We are proud to provide speech pathology & occupational therapy services for children in Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Lake Tahoe, Fernley, Gardnerville, & the greater Northern Nevada area.
Occupational Therapy
A child's occupation includes playing, learning, and performing daily living tasks, like eating and dressing. We believe in using play and movement in sensory-rich environments to facilitate a child's success in these areas in a fun and enjoyable way.

Children communicate within their environments by understanding the words of others, sharing their needs and desires, speaking clearly, participating in play, and following social rules. Our approach is to use the power of naturalistic/play tasks to increase each child's communicative competence.

MoreSTG welcomes most major insurance plans including Medicaid
Our office staff is more than happy to call and check insurance benefits to see if speech-language and occupational therapy services are covered benefits prior to scheduling an appointment. The office staff will inquire about current deductible information and estimated copayment amounts. If prior authorization is required, STG will submit the request(s) for the family!
