I provide pediatric SLP services to children from birth to 16 years. I have specialty experience with feeding and swallowing, complex medical disorders and speech and language disorders. I have extensive experience in working with premature infants, both in the NICU and beyond in Early Intervention. I also provide traditional medical SLP services combined with Craniosacral Therapy with improved functional outcomes. (Craniosacral therapy is a light touch therapy that helps to balance the nervous system, leading to improved neurological function and better availability for traditional therapies.) Services are provided in my office on an individual basis, with active parent participation and home programming.
I also have experience with Childhood Apraxia of Speech, Auditory/Language Processing disorders, articulation and phonological disorders, language delays and pre-reading difficulties.
