Hi, I'm Evelyn!
I am a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist with more than 20 years of experience working with children and families in schools, homes, early learning settings, and private practice.
My clinical experience includes early communication and language development, speech sound and motor speech disorders, literacy, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), and complex communication needs. I also have extensive experience supporting children who use robust AAC systems, including those with more complex access needs.
I work closely with families, caregivers, educators, and other professionals, and I try to understand each child within the context of their everyday life, including their relationships, culture, language, interests, routines, and the ways they communicate best. I value listening carefully, avoiding assumptions, and making sure families are genuinely included in decisions about their children.
My approach is practical, collaborative, and evidence-informed, with a focus on building on each child’s strengths and making communication more meaningful and useful in everyday life.
Alongside my private practice, I continue to work in the public school system.
