Speech-Language & Literacy Services

Consultation

• During an initial phone conversation we will discuss concerns and questions, possible services, and next steps.  
• If services with Angela may be a good fit, we will schedule a time to meet in person and further explore how to best address your concerns.   
• After reviewing records and meeting in person, Angela will offer recommendations based on individual strengths, needs, and goals. 
• Ongoing consultation with family, educators, and professionals involved in each client's care is offered to support maximum benefit of intervention and monitor meaningful changes outside of treatment sessions. 

Evaluation

• Comprehensive evaluations provide information about cognitive-linguistic strengths and areas in need of development for effective learning and communication. Understanding an individual's cognitive-linguistic profile will support informed decisions regarding educational and treatment planning.
• Spoken language (phonological processing, listening comprehension and oral expression), written language (decoding/word reading, spelling, reading comprehension, written expression) and related speech production and executive functions may be assessed.
• A specific plan will be determined for each individual's evaluation, with the goal of making the best use of time and resources  to answer questions about the learner's cognitive-linguistic profile.

Treatment

• Supports for cognitive-linguistic functioning may include:
  • individual 1:1 sessions
  • group sessions
  • consultation with family and professionals 
• The number of treatment sessions and type of services recommended will vary depending upon each person's goals.  
• Individual treatment sessions are most often scheduled once per week for 50 minutes, Monday through Friday.
• Sessions are available in a bright, welcoming office in Concord, MA.
• Telepractice sessions are also available.
