Welcome! I’m Amy.
Hi! I’m a pediatric speech-language pathologist who loves bringing language and literacy together to help kids learn with confidence.
In following a science of reading based scope and sequence, we use multi-sensory and movement-based activities to increase progress and fun!
We partner with families to determine goals and build skills step by step; while sharing practical strategies you can use at home following weekly sessions.
Our ultimate goal is to help your child grow into a confident, successful and motivated learner.
How it Works:
-
Please reach out with questions! We will discuss your concerns, and I will provide recommendations for next steps to improve your child’s language and literacy skills.
-
We will schedule a one-hour evaluation to assess your child’s literacy skills. This can be divided into two sessions if needed. Evaluations are given in a low pressure, supportive environment.
