I'm Heather Zortman, and I've been a pediatric speech therapist for 15 years, guiding babies, toddlers, and children of all ages through their milestones. I've had success helping children with various speech and language difficulties flourish through personalized, family-centered therapy. I specialize in early language delays, autism spectrum, and speech sound disorders. I use compassionate and engaging techniques to boost childrens' confidence and ability to advocate for themselves. I work on neurodiversity-affirming social and conversation skills, effectively reduce/manage stuttering behaviors, and provide evidenced-based strategies to address lisps. Online therapy sessions provide a unique opportunity for me to get a view into the child's world when they are in their most comfortable environment. I have access to their most motivating and engaging toys, parents can more immediately implement techniques as they are already engrained in every day normal life, ensuring that your child receives the personalized attention they need to thrive. Each family's journey is unique, so I provide guidance and support every step of the way. I collaborate closely with families, listening to their concerns and aspirations while teaching essential skills to help children succeed in all environments. Bravo's therapy sessions are designed to be fun and playful, drawing on my background in musical theater and a passion for making a positive impact on families' lives. This approach helps me engage and motivate children to achieve their goals. It's all about the power of praise and steady support to shape behavior and foster success. I'm here to help your child find their voice, build their confidence, and achieve their communication goals. And if you've read this far down, Bravo!
