Are you looking for the best outcome for a child struggling to learn speech, social, or basic reading and spelling skills?Are you looking for someone who can help a child understand the process? One who can work outside the restraints of a curriculum and customize lessons to their strengths and challenges?Would you like to see them gain confidence, grow, catch up, and maybe even keep up with their peers? If you are, I am here to make that happen…I can accurately assess and diagnose speech, social, oral language, and written language issues like dyslexia. Whether I see a child in our office or in their home, school, or daycare, they will receive cutting-edge care with compassion at its core. I am a Speech-Language Pathologist who specializes in childhood apraxia of speech, reading, and spelling… Yes, SLPs do that, too! Childhood apraxia of speech is a complex neurologically-based speech-sound disorder that requires a very different approach than other problems with speech clarity. With our advanced trainings in-hand, we can tell the difference between seemingly similar problems, make an accurate diagnosis, and develop an appropriate treatment plan. Then, with a fun, child-friendly approach, we get to work!Reading and spelling happens when we turn sounds we hear and say into letters we read and write. Reading and spelling skills are 100% based on oral language skills. However, that process isn’t simple… especially for children who are struggling. Using cutting-edge and more easily-acquired speech-to-print strategies, I will take advantage of every resource and help them overcome every obstacle. Because children have to wait fifty years… yes, 50!... for research to be incorporated into classroom curriculums, I am passionate about bringing what we know to children now… today!Imagine feeling 100% confident referring a child to a Speech-Language Pathologist who will make sure they reach their full potential and keep you informed throughout the process.If that sounds like the kind of therapist you'd like to refer children to, let’s connect. Let’s work together to make sure those children get the most comprehensive evaluation and treatment possible, gain confidence, and discover that learning can be both easier and fun!Drop me a message here today.
