Areas of Expertise
Articulation
Teaching your child to produce the specific speech sounds or sound patterns that he is having difficulty with, and thus increasing his overall speech intelligibility.
Receptive and expressive language skills
Teaching your child new vocabulary and how to use that knowledge to follow directions, answer questions, and participate in simple conversations with others.
Stuttering
Teaching your child to control their speech using various strategies and thus increasing overall speech fluency and intelligibility.
Learning Disability
Teaching your child various academic skills to help them in progress in their education.
My Approach
My approach is mainly play therapy for the younger children moving on to a structured approach as the goals are met. Sessions are structured to be fun places alternating between table top tasks and move about activities. Parental involvement is encouraged for maximum continuity and greater parental bonding.

Message for Parents:
​
As a parent, you spend hours a day bonding with your child. You wake them up, get them ready for their day, feed, read, talk, bathe and put them to sleep at night. It is during these everyday natural tasks that your child understands and learns the most and is given the most opportune moments to communicate.
When you are equipped with the skills and knowledge, you can be the best “speech therapist” your child will ever have. So ask questions, take notes, do the homework, and work closely with your child’s SLP. Together we can make an amazing team and change your child’s life, one word at a time.
