My Commitment to Their Developmental Speech and Language Needs
Understanding Developmental Speech Therapy and How I Can Help
As a developmental speech therapist (SLPA), I specialize in helping children like yours overcome challenges related to speech, language, and communication. If you've noticed your child struggling to meet communication milestones, express themselves clearly, or understand others, please know that you're not alone and that I'm here to offer expert support.
I work with a diverse range of developmental differences and conditions, including speech sound disorders (articulation and phonological delays), language delays, social communication difficulties, and challenges associated with autism spectrum disorder and other neurodevelopmental conditions. My focus is on empowering your child to become a confident and effective communicator, laying a strong foundation for their future academic and social success.
The Power of Early Intervention and My Neurodiversity-Affirming Approach
I firmly believe in the power of early intervention. Research consistently shows it's key to maximizing a child's progress in speech and language development. Addressing concerns as soon as they arise can make a significant difference in your child's long-term outcomes. I champion a neurodiversity-affirming approach in my practice, which means I celebrate each child's unique strengths and ways of communicating. Rather than focusing on "fixing" perceived deficits, my philosophy emphasizes understanding and supporting individual differences. I design therapy sessions to be engaging, play-based, and tailored to your child's specific interests and needs, creating a positive and motivating environment where they can learn and grow. My approach respects that there are many ways to communicate, and I aim to build upon your child's natural abilities.
Partnering with You, the Parents, for Lasting Success
At the core of successful speech therapy is a strong partnership between me and your family. I believe that parents and caregivers are integral members of the therapy team. I am committed to providing you with the knowledge, tools, and strategies to support your child's communication development in everyday situations. I'll show you how to create a language-rich home environment and incorporate therapeutic techniques into daily routines, making learning a natural and ongoing process. This collaborative model ensures that the progress we make in therapy sessions extends into your child's home and community, fostering lasting improvements and empowering you to be your child's best communication advocate.

FREE REPORT: Your Child's Speech and Language Milestones
If you are concerned that your child's speech isn't where you feel it should be, please take a look at this report. A child's speech and language development occurs at different times for each child. However, there are some basic guide lines that tell us when to expect certain things.
This report will go over those guide lines as well as some activities that you as a parent can do at home to help. I've also included a list of toys and books that I have used in my practice and at home with my own kids to encourage their speech and language development.
