Evaluations
I offer personalized evaluations and consultations for children from three years through high school. Individualized evaluations lead to treatment plans based on your child’s specific profile, strengths and needs, and can be shared with families and teaching teams to support successful outcomes.Evaluations may address speech, language, pragmatics or other communicative needs, and typically include parent history/intake sessions, record reviews, testing in my office, observation at school, and a feedback session to explain the report and recommendations. I will attend PPTs, and enjoy collaborating with teaching staff who work with the children I see.Therapy
As with evaluations, therapy is individualized; the frequency and type of treatment will be based on your child’s needs. Sessions are 45 minutes in length and most children are seen once weekly, more often if needed.

SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions)
This program aims to decrease family accommodation of a child’s anxiety and to develop parental support. I will work with you as a consultant, coach and guide during this 12-week process.

About me

I earned my Bachelor’s Degree at University College London, England, my Master’s Degree in Human Communication from the Institute of Neurology, London University, and then became a Language Disorder Specialist working in school programs in London. On moving to New Haven, I received my ASHA certification and CT licensure while teaching and supervising students in SCSU’s Communication Disorders Dept., and was a school Speech Language Pathologist at a Cheshire Public School Early Intervention Program. Before going into private practice, I joined Yale Child Study Center’s Developmental Disabilities group as part of the Autism team; this is when I developed my deep and continuing interest in this type of neurodiversity. An emphasis on the importance of child development, and developmentally-informed intervention was central, and continues to inform my practice.
