Patients can be born with the disorder or it can develop from a stroke or head injury.

Take a step toward confident communication at Summit Speech Therapy. All of the resources at our clinic are dedicated to helping our clients improve speech, language and cognitive skills. Better communication starts today! Summit Speech Therapy Inc, was created to improve client and family access to Speech-Language Therapy provided by well trained and knowledgeable Speech-Language Therapists. We treat clients of all ages for a wide range of communication and swallowing needs. After working for years in the local schools, therapy clinics, and hospital settings, we found a disconnect between what was needed, and what was offered and available. As SLP’s we believe that these needed services are fundamental to increasing quality of life. We grew tired of the school systems limiting appropriate treatment frequency due to budget and staffing restraints. We’ve worked in the “comprehensive” clinics where speech therapy is only an “after-thought,” and not given adequate resources. We created a clinic where speech services are our primary focus. We realize that all ages are affected by speech-language needs, as communication is a necessary life skill. We love working with the pediatric and youth population. We are also trained to meet the unique needs of adults. We want to not only increase access to these all-important services, but to do so in a timely manner.

Often includes difficulty with chewing, food getting “stuck”, coughing while eating or drinking or transmitting the food from your mouth to esophagus and finally to the stomach. Common complaints include: It hurts to swallow. I’m scared of choking I cough when I eat or drink. Food is getting “stuck” in my throat I am constantly belching It’s taking me too long to chew Cognitive-Linguistic Impairments: Often a result of brain injury or age related cognitive decline.

I’m losing my mind! I can’t seem to organize my thoughts. I forget to be safe/ have frequent falls. Voice Disorders: This may be a result of an impairment in physical structure, like vocal nodules, paralysis of the vocal cords, cancer of the head, neck or throat or simply age related changes to the vocal structures. However, sometimes voice disorders may be a result of ineffective or improper use of the vocal mechanism. This may mean putting too much strain on our vocal cords, improper breathing and voice coordination, unresolved psychological conflict etc. These are some common complaints: My voice sounds different. Why can’t people hear me? Why am I running out of breath while speaking? People make fun of my voice. My throat hurts when I speak! I sound nasal or high-pitched. I’m losing my voice!

Disconnection. Isolation. Having a child with autism makes life hard. You’re running more, trying harder than any parent you know, and getting back so much less. It’s not just the big accomplishments—the Instagram Superstar moments everyone posts of their kids—that you miss. Even more, it’s the little things, like shooting hoops, baking together, playing games, story time… All those small moments of big connection that were supposed to be “givens” of parenting… And despite those nagging voices in your head … or possibly even from folks around you… before we go any further, let me reassure you that YOU are a GOOD PARENT. How do I know? Because you’re here. You recognize that your child, your family, YOU have a need, and you’re actively seeking solutions. I know you’re running. And I know that when you’re not running, your mind is. Running for the answers, for the solutions to this mystery that separates your child from you, from the world. Let me tell you a secret. You can stop running now. Your answer has been right here all along... Because YOU are your child’s best medicine. I know this probably isn’t the message you’re used to hearing. But it’s true. When you really boil it down, the only difference between ASD and “normal” development is the different between this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SLzPyxzbYIwNnW0jcdnHmqKBYX27e0NW/view?usp=sharing And this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19o6T7DbYnUCz8kTdqJjOYKAd6dtAqGi_/view?usp=sharing It’s just a matter of your child knowing how to span the gap and grab hold of the scaffolding guidance you provide. That’s it. But simple isn’t always easy… without the proper guidance. And that’s where I come in. If you want to guide your child to reach out to you (and others) for genuine, meaningful connection. If you want to learn how to help them THRIVE—now, and in the future—I can help. Reach out today to schedule a free consultation.

I help frustrated people break down barriers to better communication, learning, and thinking so that they can lead fulfilling, independent lives. Mobile private practice and teletherapy allow me to provide personalized, encouraging, and effective therapy services to people in a way that meets them where they are. No worksheets, flashcards, etc. (unless you like those things!). I specialize in helping people experiencing difficulty with speaking, listening, reading, writing, attention/concentration, memory, organization, planning, and executive functions (the "boss" functions of the brain that help you get things done). I have a special place in my heart for people living with dementia and their families. While I cannot reverse or cure the cognitive decline that comes with dementia, I can help find ways to live well at each stage, reduce daily frustrations, and improve independence. Many people I work with have tried speech therapy in the past but found they did not have input into what they were doing, or their goals didn't meet their actual needs. So they left frustrated and without much progress. My approach focuses on shared goal-building and working together at a level that is challenging--but not impossible--so that you can see and feel the benefit of what you're doing.
