She has experience working with children and young adults in both clinic and school settings, with a special interest in childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), speech sound disorders, language, AAC, and social communication.

Her therapy is play-based, relationship-centered, and individualized. Lauren believes that building a meaningful connection with each client and partnering with families creates the foundation for successful communication.
