Chattykiddo supports children in becoming spontaneous, creative, effective, and happy communicators!

ChattyKiddo Pediatric Therapy is a product of over 10-year journey that has begun with an idea and a goal to create specialized, comprehensive, and strength- based approach to helping children rise up to their greatest potential in the world of communication. Natalie, the founder of Chattykiddo, has worked toward the realization of her family- centered private practice for many years, one treatment session at a time. Communication and related disabilities, in all its manifestations, has been Natalie’s passion and focus of work since 2001. When Natalie first applied to the graduate program in Communication Sciences and Disorders at Long Island University in New York, she knew she had chosen the right profession, one that is a both science and relationship- based. Natalie’s extensive clinical experience includes working within NYC preschools, elementary schools, center and home- based Early Intervention programs, as well as private and University based clinics. Natalie has also been involved with supervising graduate Speech- Language Pathology students. Natalie is an active blogger here and on other social media platforms- offering support, clinical information, and up-to-date strategies that can be used to promote speech- language development at home.

For those who are new here—hi, I’m Natalie.
I’m a speech-language pathologist, clinic owner, mom of three, and the face behind ChattyKiddo Pediatric Therapy.

I’ve been doing this work for over 15 years, and I still care just as deeply about it as I did when I first started. This isn’t “just a job” to me—it’s personal. I care about outcomes, experiences, and trust. This shapes our approach to every family who walks through our doors.

As our clinic has grown, I’ve been incredibly fortunate to build a strong, dedicated team. Having this support allows me to focus more on overseeing therapy sessions, mentoring our clinicians, and offering evaluations—especially when cases are more complex or families are looking for a second opinion.

I often work with children with:
• Apraxia of speech
• Auditory processing challenges
• Social communication differences
• Phonological disorders
• Neurodevelopmental profiles like autism, ADHD, language differences, and learning challenges

Because of this focus, my availability is limited. But every evaluation I take on is thorough, individualized, and rooted in years of experience.

If you’re wondering whether your child might benefit from an evaluation, or you’re feeling unsure about next steps, please reach out to us to check availability and take advantage of our FREE consultation. 🤍 We’re always happy to talk things through and help guide you.

Did you know that gestures are predictors of healthy communicative development?💡

Before your child says their first words, they’re already communicating—through gestures. And these early nonverbal skills are incredibly telling.

Why gestures matter:

Gestures are symbolic. When a child points to a toy, waves goodbye, or shakes their head “no,” they’re showing they understand symbols—the foundation of all communication.

Research worldwide confirms: gesture use reliably predicts how verbal communication will unfold.

Delays in gestural communication often signal delays in cognitive development and play, too.

What to watch for as you wait for first words:

☑️ Eye contact - used to to communicate/ signal needs and intention to connect with others
☑️ Gestural communication - pointing (huge!), shaking head yes/no, waving, clapping, high-fiving, blowing kisses, reaching, giving items
☑️ Joint attention - shifting eye gaze between you and an object to share focus together

Red flags:

If your child does not use eye contact to communicate, struggles with back-and-forth nonverbal signaling via eyes gaze/ facial expressions, or isn’t understanding/using gestures, it may be worth exploring with a professional ☝️A complete evaluation will include an in depth assessment of both proverbial skills and verbal communication (if developed).

Why Language Functions Matter (so much!) 🔊
Lacking functions of language may indicate a language delay or disorder, which is why it’s a crucial part of an evaluation and ongoing treatment. Understanding language functions and pragmatic development is sometimes missed but this information is key to making the right diagnosis and determining if the child is age appropriate.
