I am owner/therapist of The Center for Speech Language Intervention. I have experience in schools but find that one on one intervention is the most productive way to provide optimal services for the client. Developing a trusting relationship with high expectations is core to reaching a child so we can work together on target goals. We must accept where the child begins and celebrate that next step, then the next and the next. I have worked with children from birth to high school in areas including: autism (including Aspergers), childhood apraxia of speech, receptive and expressive language delays and disabilities, processing disorders, stuttering, genetic disorders, articulation and phonological process disorders, phonemic awareness and reading comprehension deficits. Another aspect of communication intervention is to address psychosocial/behavioral issues that may accompany communication challenges. While we want to use research based interventions such as Interactive Metronome which accesses neuroplasticity to support therapeutic goals, there is also an organic process of being flexible in engaging with your child. Your child's needs are unique and discovering what works best is part of that process. References and recommendations available.

Private practice offers relationship centered speech language therapy and integrative health coaching for people impacted by stroke and other neurological illness. Because communication impairments do not just affect the person who has it, ICOMMUNICARE emphasizes the importance of discovering effective ways to maintain and improve relationships. A life participation approach ensures that client's needs and goals are addressed without judgement. Sudden and unexpected life changing events can be devastating. A shift in mindset, new approaches to health and wellness, and connecting to the important people in your life are still possible.
