My Services
Screenings.
Screenings are 15-20 minute sessions designed to take a broad look at a child’s speech and language skills and determine if further evaluation is needed. Screenings are typically performed in the school setting with participating daycares, preschools and elementary schools; however, due to covid-19 safety procedures, screenings can be performed during an individually scheduled session in the office. A brief screening report is provided for each child with findings and recommendations.
Evaluations.
Evaluations include a 1.5-3 hour session spread over the course of 1-2 days consisting of parent interview, standardized testing, clinical observation and play routines to assess the whole child. Following the completion of a full evaluation, a comprehensive report is written and provided.
Please contact me for more information about evaluations.
Therapy.
One on one therapy takes place in the therapy room in Northridge, about a mile from the CSUN campus. Family member attendance and participation is dependent on each family and child’s needs. Therapy plans (type, duration and frequency of sessions) are determined based on what is needed to meet the specific goals of each individual case.
Please contact me for more information about evaluations.

Family & Me (0-3)
This service is offered individually for families with a child age 0-3 years old. I offer parent education and coaching to optimize communicative interactions that foster early speech and language development. This is family-centered therapy for enhancing functional communication within the home.
Famliy & Me (3-12)
This service is offered in conjunction with speech therapy for families with a child age 3-12 years old. This individualized parent training focuses on strategy integration and therapy management.
