When we think of speech-language pathologists, we often think of speech, but their expertise goes far beyond that. Because spoken and written language are closely connected, SLPs play a key role in helping students build strong reading AND writing skills. ✍️

Learn why their perspective is so valuable in supporting written language development: https://nesca-newton.com/why-speech-language-pathologists-are-uniquely-equipped-to-support-written-language/

ABOUT ME

HI! My name is Lauren and I have been providing Speech and Language Therapy services for over 21 years now (gulp)! I absolutely love what I do and since I'm a South Shore gal, I LOVE servicing children from this area!

My specialities are speech articulation, all things language and EARLY reading (pre-k through 3 or 4) and writing for ALL ages. I can provide specific reading consultation and appropriate referrals for those still struggling beyond grade 3-4.

I receive lots of calls about work in Social Language and yes! I do that too!

I’m really love serving the South Shore Ma area. I feel honored to be able to serve children and families.
