Specializations
Executive Functioning
Supporting children with planning, organization, and the language skills needed to navigate school and everyday life.
PROMPT Trained Level 1 & 2
Some children know exactly what they want to say, but coordinating the movements to say it is where they need support. PROMPT is a hands-on approach that addresses the physical, sensory, and language components of speech production to help children communicate with more ease and confidence.
Gestalt Language Processing
Some children learn language in chunks- whole phrases before individual words. This is a natural and valid path to communication. I recognize it, honor it, and support children in shaping those chunks into functional, flexible language.
AAC: Augmentative & Alternative Communication
Supporting multimodal communicators in building confident, functional communication through the tools and strategies that work best for them.
Social Communication & Pragmatic Language
Building the skills children need to connect, converse, and navigate the social world with confidence.
