I’ve added to my current practice a lifespan approach to supporting clients using Assistive Technology by using the SETT framework. https://assistedtechnology.weebly.com/sett-framework.html

Please ask me how AT can help provide access by considering person, environment, tasks & tools for you or your family member. Concentration is based on the Social Model of Disability instead of the Medical Model. These changes in mindset may be a shift to your thinking. https://www.yacvic.org.au/ydas/resources-and-training/together-2/values-and-ideas/two-models-of-disability/

Consider reaching out to me if your child, teen, or another person in your life is struggling with their communication development/skills. I’m accepting new patients both in-person, in-your-home and through telehealth (computer/video) services.

I’m private pay only, and offer super bills which are coded to submit to insurance and/or health or flex savings accounts.

I’m a fully licensed, certified speech-language pathologist who can give families peace of mind in determining if a communication disorder presents itself, and developing and implementing a treatment plan to address needs/concerns all in the comfort of the home or patient’s natural setting.

I’m heading back to school for a graduate certification in Assistive Technology at University of Illinois -Chicago beginning in Fall ‘21. Super pumped to be adding to my AAC knowledge base, and plan on using my AT cert to continue making communication, and the world accessible to all individuals during their lifespan from infancy through adulthood. 🤗

The singer-songwriter was born with an ear deformity that made hearing difficult; eventually, she lost her residual hearing. But if you're going to vote for her, she wants you to look past that.

The highlight of my son’s speech therapy was always the bag of toys. Years ago, when he was a toddler and the therapist came to our house, he’d wait patiently as she took out one toy at a time and used each to help build language skills. Anxious to boost his progress, I watched her...
