As a PROMPT certified Speech and Language Pathologist, my approach involves active engagement from parents and caregivers in their child's therapy process. With PROMPT,I utilize tactile and kinesthetic cues to guide speech production movements. By gently providing cues to the face, jaw, lips, or tongue, I help create and organize sounds, words, phrases, and sentences. The principles of motor learning are applied across sessions to fade support and ensure generalization across environments.

My therapy begins with a comprehensive assessment, using a System Analysis Observation to understand the unique speech movements, structures, and functions of each child. This evaluation informs the development of personalized treatment goals and priorities, which I discuss with parents across treatment. Incorporating the child's interests and functional targets ensures that therapy sessions are both engaging and motivating. Verbal and visual cues and play based therapy is also a part of my approach creating shared joy across our therapy sessions. My extensive experience in Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and certification in the LAMP Program enable me to effectively implement alternative communication devices for families and clients.

I prioritize ongoing parent education and home practice, empowering families to feel confident and informed about their child's speech therapy journey. Through regular re-assessment, I update treatment goals as needed, continuously guiding the child forward in their speech development. Together, we can support your child's progress every step of the way.
