Child’s Speech, about

Hi! I'm Kelly, Speech-Language Pathologist.

Speech therapy sessions for young children are largely centered around play skills and functional activities. It is my job to help caregivers understand what to expect at each stage of development and how to facilitate language learning through play and during everyday routines. I help parents lay the foundation for the development of their child’s speech and language skills.

I have been working with children and families for over 20 years as an ASHA certified Speech-Language Pathologist with a Master’s Degree from Columbia University. I am licensed to work in the states of TN and NJ. I specialize in working with infants, toddlers and preschool children with speech-language delays and disorders.

The parents I work with are eager to learn “the language of play” during our sessions together and feel empowered to help their own children at home. Because we target speech and language skills through play by meeting the child where he is developmentally, we see progress more quickly.

As a mom of three kids of my own, I know these moments mean everything. You can experience this same sense of joy as you watch your child play and grow using the tips and strategies I’ll provide for you here.
