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.
Lauren has pursued advanced training in CAS, including DTTC, PROMPT, and Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders, and is a professionally selected member of the Apraxia Kids Directory.
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.
