I am a speech-language pathologist with almost 10 years of experience working with students in school-based settings in Massachusetts. I understand some of the limitations in school speech therapy has as I have seen it first hand. Supplementing school based speech therapy in combination with private in-home therapy means more progress for your child’s communication skills!

I am licensed by the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA # 14202849), Department of Education (# 54838709), and in the state of Massachusetts (license #: SLP 9942).

I recieved my bachelors degree from the University of New Hampshire in 2013 where I majored in Communication Sciences and Disorders and minored in Special Education and Deaf Studies. I graduated with my Masters in Speech Language Pathology from Emerson College in 2015. Recently, I completed a certificate program at Framingham State University for Teaching English Learners. When I am not working I love traveling, reading, and embroidery.

Consultation

Call or email to set up a free 15 minute consultation to see if Chatty Cats Speech is right for you! During your consulation we will hear about your concerns, answer questions you have, and learn about your child.

Evaluation

In order to determine a treatment plan, goals for therapy, and areas of strength/weakness, your child will participate in a speech/language evaluation. This may consist of a combination of formal criterion referenced assessments, informal observations, and record review of any previous testing.

Treatment

Now for the fun part, speech therapy! We will travel to your home, local library, or if the weather permits- a local park for a 50 minute session. Sessions will be available in individual or small group settings and can be as frequent as 2x per week depending on your child’s needs and your schedule.

Do you accept health insurance?

At this time, Chatty Cats Speech does not accept health insurance. However, we hope to accept it in the future! For now, we only offer private pay. We accept cash, check, or Venmo.

My child didn’t qualify for services at school. Can they still get speech therapy at Chatty Cats?

Absolutely! Many students are found ineligible for school based speech services, but still present with communication challenges. One of the benefits of private speech therapy is that we can offer services without all the red tape that school services entail.

My child already gets speech at school. Can they do both?

Yes!! Receiving in school and in-home speech therapy means faster progress. Chatty Cats Speech can work in tandem with school services so you can see progress, increase your child’s confidence, and decrease your child’s frustration. It also increases the liklihood that the skills are carried over.

When do you offer sessions?

Currently we are offering services on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings (after 4:30) as well as Satuday mornings.
