"Hello! I am a certified and licensed Speech-Language Pathologist who worked in a public middle school for over eight years, serving students in grades five through eight with various communication disorders. Specifically, I have worked extensively with students with language-based learning disabilities, including Dyslexia. During my time in the school system, I supported students with various language and reading needs every day.

I have a BA in Psychology from Tufts University. I have an MA in Child Development from Tufts University. I have an MS in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the MGH Institute of Health Professions. I am certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, and am licensed to practice Speech-Language Pathology in the states of MA and NH. I also have an All-Levels Professional license in Speech, Language, and Hearing Disorders from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.

I have been trained in two Lindamood-Bell programs, LiPS (Lindamood-Bell Phoneme Sequencing) and V & V (Visualizing and Verbalizing). LiPS is a phonics- and articulation-based program, and V & V is a reading comprehension program. In addition, I am trained in the Orton-Gillingham approach and have tutored several students using O-G. I have tutored privately and in a school setting. I have also been trained in and use the Handwriting Without Tears program.

As an SLP, I have extensive experience in assessing and evaluating students, writing reports, and interpreting reports, including neuropsychological reports. In addition, in my role as a Speech-Language Pathologist, I gathered data during each lesson and analyzed this data in order to plan successful future lessons.

Lastly, I am Certified Accent Specialist. I help adults who want to modify or reduce their accents in order to communicate more effectively. If you would like to learn to speak with a General American Accent, I can help you!

I look forward to speaking with you!

All my best,

Caitlin" less...
