As a Speech Language Pathologist with a specialization in Speech Sound Disorders, I am constantly teaching and thinking (and speaking!) about clear speech production. 

I have grown so much in that time—personally and professionally as well as emotionally– and reflecting on this growth has caused me to consider how my therapeutic interactions have shaped my beliefs.

As a parent of a child with special needs, you will ALWAYS remember the day you received your child’s diagnosis.

I have been teaching at the University level for 16 years. I began teaching at New York University (my alma mater) with a projector and slides (I wish I was kidding) and I loved it from day one.

I am a practicing Speech Language Pathologist. I graduated 20 years ago with my master’s degree. I have been teaching and supervising on the graduate level for 17 years and back-to-school time still excites me.

I am always adding to my “tool box” of treatment strategies to work with my clients as well as for suggestions to the graduate students I teach and supervise.

Early Intervention (E.I.) is AMAZING (in theory—admittedly, sometimes not in execution).

Learn how to help them expand their vocabulary and use language variety consistently.

Any savvy parent of a child with special needs will tell you that there are many tenets to a successful therapy program. But one crucial piece to the dynamic that is often overlooked is team collaboration.
