Northeast Kingdom Speech, Language, Communication

At Northeast Kingdom Speech, Language, Communication, we provide communication therapy for all ages! We specialize in communication therapy for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and those with Complex Communication Needs (CCN), as well as provide articulation and language therapy.

Communication Therapy for Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Blending naturalistic intervention with verbal behavior therapy, I tailor my intervention to meet each individual in a way that best fits his/her learning style. I use a collaborative teaching approach, working directly with each individual and family to best meet their needs.

Complex Communication Needs:
Communication is an essential part of life for individuals of all ages. For some, verbal communication is not currently an option. I offer communication training for those who may rely on alternative modes of communication, such as Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices, Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), communication boards, baby sign language, writing, and other alternative modes of communication. I work with families to help transfer the learning done in the therapy room to a more natural environment, such as the home or community

Articulation and Language Therapy:
Through a combination of drill and natural intervention therapy, I help individuals with speech sound disorders increase their intelligibility and comprehensibility so that they may be better understood by both familiar and unfamiliar listeners. I also target language instruction through vocabulary development, word finding strategies, listening comprehension, phonological awareness, narrative development, story telling, and more.
