"I’d want to make sure that kids are getting a full two hours a day of literacy teaching. Some schools do that now, but there’s a great deal of variation in that. Some schools cut back on that teaching at the end of third grade, and some do so in grade 5. It’s a mistake whenever it happens."

ABOUT ME

HI! My name is Lauren and I have been providing Speech and Language Therapy services for over 21 years now (gulp)! I absolutely love what I do and since I'm a South Shore gal, I LOVE servicing children from this area!

My specialities are speech articulation, all things language and EARLY reading (pre-k through 3 or 4) and writing for ALL ages. I can provide specific reading consultation and appropriate referrals for those still struggling beyond grade 3-4.

I receive lots of calls about work in Social Language and yes! I do that too!

I’m really love serving the South Shore Ma area. I feel honored to be able to serve children and families.
