I am in process of becoming certified as a Learn with Less Provider and I am in search of 2 families that have children 0-12 months to participate in my certification class. Learn With Less® (Strength In Words LLC) is a parent education company dedicated to helping to support new parents feel confident they can support and connect with their babies and toddlers – without having to buy a single toy. It is based out of California and when I came across it, I realized the potential it had for so many of the families on Cape Cod who are looking to find ways to support their children's development while making connections with other families in the community. Once certification is complete, I will be offering infant and toddler classes within the community. Please DM me if you are interested in joining me.

This summer I plan to expand some of my therapeutic services to include small group opportunities for kids that really enjoy Legos, but might also struggle with social communication skills. This can include children with high functioniong ASD and children with other social communicatoin challenges. This is based on the research done by LeGoff, Gomez de la Cuesta, Krauss, and Baron-Cohen. My hope is to offer at least two groups for children Grades 2 through 6. If you might be interested, please feel free to reach out to me for more information. Groups will be comprised of three children per group and will be one hour in length.

Getting prepared as our students, clients, and children enter adulthood can be overwhelming. The supports change to allow for more independence and autonomy, however the process and changes can often be unexpected and stressful. It’s important to prepare both clients and their families for the changes.

It's no secret that our students with social learning challenges (Autism Spectrum Disorders; ADHD, NVLD, undiagnosed murky kid...) struggle through various aspects of their education. Whether their struggles are due to difficulties establishing peer-based social relationships, completing academic as...

Hard to believe that summer is 12 weeks away. This summer I will be offering office visits for pediatric and adult clients. In addition to individual sessions I plan to offer small group sessions targeting a variety of speech and language needs that incorporate client interests from Legos to Harry Potter and beyond. As a bonus, I’ve got a wonderful outdoor space to utilize weather permitting. Please reach out if you have any questions. Wishing you all a safe and healthy Spring.

With many schools stating that masks are required for PreK through 12th grade I wanted to share one of the resources I have shared with families this summer. I think it’s a great social story on mask wearing for children.

I think we all know that “getting back to normal” is not an option. Creating a new normal is. In this new normal, I have been able to create a safe space to provide direct speech and language services to my clients. Currently, I am providing a combination of teletherapy and in-person services at my home office. I’m hearing from so many that they’re concerned about the regression of speech and language skills in their children over these past few months. Please reach out to me if you have the need. Wishing you all a safe and healthy start to summer.

I am excited to announce that I anticipate that my home office will be open for business on July 1st. Teletherapy has been challenging and rewarding these past few months and I’m sure it will continue for some as we move into the next season, but it will be so nice to see everyone in person. I have openings right now in my summer schedule. Please reach out if you or your child needs support with speech and language skills or if you would just like more information. Wishing you all well.
