My Approach
I strive to create a boutique therapy experience that is highly individualized with targets and materials curated based on the interests and desires of the client. An evaluation is our starting point. After that, an action plan is agreed upon and put into place. Clear Communication clients have improved speech production, vocabulary and grammar, reading and writing skills, memory strategies, AAC use, social communication skills and more. Let me help you more clearly connect!
