Experience
I have worked extensively with children of all ages, ranging from two years old up to 17 years old. I have worked in various settings, treating a variety of disorders. Practicing speech therapy in a variety of settings has allowed me to observe and stimulate children in different environments. It has also allowed me to interact with families and other professionals in different capacities.
I provided individual and group therapy at Giant Steps School, a private school for children with special needs. I treated children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and Global Developmental Delay.
I worked for Jewish Family Services by providing individual therapy for young children in their preschool environment. Difficulties included, speech sound difficulties (articulation), expressive and receptive language delays, and social and behavioral difficulties.
I continue to provide services at the EAST Foundation, a charitable organization that coordinates therapies for special needs children. I treat children individually for a variety of disorders including autism, language delays, social-interpersonal difficulties, articulation disorders
etc.
I have an ongoing private practice where I specialize in the treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorders, speech and language delays, articulation and phonology disorders, and receptive and expressive language disorders.
I have lectured on speech and language development and related issues to parents and teachers in daycare centers and in schools. Please
contact me if you are interested in having an information session at your organization.
Please refer to the Speech Therapy
section of this site for more detailed information on my treatment methods, philosophies and areas of specialization.
