What is Speech Therapy?

Speech therapy sessions provided by a licensed and certified Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) are designed to promote communication using a combination of evidence-based practice, expertise, and unique client needs. I use a variety of techniques and strategies to help clients achieve their goals, including play-based therapy and sensory integration. I am committed to providing the highest quality therapy services to my clients.

Aspects of speech-language therapy that I can help you with include...

  • Articulation​ delays

  • Receptive/expressive language delays

  • Augmentative-Alternative Communication (AAC)

  • Apraxia

  • Aphasia

  • Dysarthria

  • Dysphagia

  • Advocacy for school-based services (getting your child an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) or an Individualized Education Plans (IEP))

  • Independent Educational Evaluations (IEE)

  • Executive functioning support for children and teens with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD)

  • Cognitive rehabilitation for adults who have suffered a brain injury or a stroke

Services

Teletherapy has gotten a bad reputation since COVID-19 and the introduction of distance learning for schools across the world.  I agree that it is not ideal for everyone, but any access to highly trained clinicians is better than none.  Research indicates telehealth is realistic, effective, and in some cases superior to in-person services. I employ a wide range of digital resources, physical props, as well as counseling and teaching strategies to make teletherapy more engaging for children and adults.  Teletherapy sessions save clients money, allow them access to care in areas where in-person providers and services are limited or unavailable, and promote communication in natural, real-life contexts and settings.
