I am a communication specialist for the child. Language is speaking, listening, reading, and writing so I work on all of those components. Whether your child is struggling to understand directions, produce mature sentences for his age, decode multi-syllabic words, blend letter sounds, or use age-appropriate spelling all of these areas are part of my training and my scope of practice. I am trained in an Orton Gillingham approach known as SMARTER Intervention, but I also use materials from well-known reading researchers such as Dr. Kirkpatrick. If you child is struggling with academics in school, he or she may have an underlying language or literacy impairment. I have spent over 5 years working with children ages 1-18 but I have spent the most time in schools working with students who have language and learning disabilities. I love supporting these students and helping them succeed. I love advocating for them in the school system. I am also a lifelong learner and will always keep up to date on the latest evidence and effective interventions.

Speaking Diligence is a therapist-owned private practice with a sole purpose to help clients overcome their communication obstacles. English language learners are candidates for accent modification services and public speaking training while individuals with current or past neurological disease (stroke, Parkinson's disease, brain injury) are eligible for skilled treatment to address difficulties with voice, speech production, and language comprehension/expression. In addition to utilizing traditional approaches of speech-language therapy, Magdalena incorporates awareness, mindfulness, postural adjustments and breathing training to further promote functional gains in treatment and maintenance of learned skills long after therapy is finished. Due to the small size of the practice, Magdalena is able to highly individualize assessment and treatment sessions to fit her clients as well as devote her time and resources to providing client and family training necessary to ensure success in overcoming communication obstacles. Feel free to call or email your questions or concerns, and they will be answered in a timely manner.
