I travel to Buckhead, Decatur, Brookhaven, and Druid Hills to provide speech services to children in their preschools, homes , or virtually! I 100% love my job and getting to help children reach their maximum speech potential! I like to make speech therapy motivating and fun, so my students love coming. I do a lot of play based therapy with young children, so they think therapy is just playing fun
games and they don’t realize I am really targeting their speech goals the entire time. I also think structured speech therapy and activities have a place and are important for expectations, but believe you can have a balance of both. I have helped hundreds of children improve all different types of speech and language delays and I am confident I can help your child too! If not, I will be 100% transparent with you and make sure I refer you to another SLP who can. However, this rarely happens and my students love coming to speech, make fast progress, and I make sure to educate parents and teachers on our targets and how they can support them in their environment. I specialize in working with students who struggle producing verbal speech and benefit from Augmentative/Alternative Communication (AAC) systems, as well as phonological awareness literacy skills, dyslexia, speech delays, speech sound disorders, expressive and receptive language, and also with social skills needed to interact and communicate with others especially peers successfully. I am a big believer that it takes a village and love teaching parents and teachers how to use specific strategies to support their child/student and their specific areas of need. I also, provide consultative services and advocate for my students and their families when trying to apply to get free services though the public schools. The process is long, frustrating, and parents have to really understand the Georgia Department rules of special education and their guidelines in order to help their child qualify for special services. It is important that I teach them how to advocate for their child, ask specific questions, and not be afraid to stick up for yourself and your child when something’s i not working properly. I do this mostly out of the goodness of my heart, but I do ask for a small fee for my time.
