Our philosophy is that children learn best when they are having fun. Speech Language Pathology in Motion strives to form personal connections with each client and family that we work with, keeping client interests, preferences, sensory, motor and cognitive abilities in mind during all sessions. We incorporate play into therapy to create positive experiences with food, and to make communication both motivating and meaningful. This philosophy, combined with proven treatment strategies, helps us bridge the gap between ineffective and effective communication while improving self-esteem and maximizing potential. Founded in 2011, Speech Language Pathology in Motion has quickly grown to become one of the area's most well respected and trusted speech language pathology practices. Our services are delivered in a family friendly, motivating, enriching and natural environment.

We welcomed Elizabeth Miller, M.A. CCC-SLP earlier this summer.

Liz has been helping neurodiverse children and adults communicate for over 27 years. She received both her Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in Speech-Language Pathology from SUNY Geneseo in 1998. Since then, she has worked in a variety of public and private settings with clients who have special needs. Liz believes that client enjoyment is essential for effective communication with others. She uses client-directed, functional activities and a total communication approach which includes verbal speech, AAC, gestures and facial expressions so that each individual feels heard. Liz shows families how to encourage carryover of acquired language skills into everyday life. She builds on the communication strengths of her clients, and will always show them that their words and actions matter.

Liz’s continuing education has included training in hippotherapy, PROMPT, ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorders. She received the New York State United Teachers Life Line Honor Roll Award in 2016 for helping save the life of a student, and a citation from the Suffolk County Legislators in 2024 for being a quiet hero of children.

When she is not at work, she enjoys watching her daughter ride horses and playing with her dogs.

We are so happy to have Liz at Speech in Motion!

This eye opening quote is such an important reminder about the critical importance of modeling for AAC users at home, at school and in the community.

The earlier AAC is introduced, and the more modeling a person receives, the more opportunities they have to learn, and to increase their understanding and use of language.

We don't expect children to speak before hearing language thousands of times, and the same is true for AAC.

By using their communication system with them—without expecting immediate imitation—we show that their voice matters, teach language naturally, and create opportunities for meaningful connection.

Every modeled word is an invitation, not a demand. 💙

July is Disability Pride Month—a time to celebrate the strength, diversity, and contributions of the disability community while recognizing the ongoing work to create a more accessible and inclusive world.

Disability is a natural part of human diversity. For many people, it is an important part of their identity and something to embrace with pride, not hide. This month also commemorates the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on July 26, 1990, a landmark civil rights law that expanded protections against disability discrimination in the United States.

True inclusion goes beyond awareness. It means removing barriers, improving accessibility, listening to disabled voices, and creating spaces where everyone can participate and belong.

As we celebrate Disability Pride Month, take time to learn, advocate, and support accessibility—not just in July, but throughout the year.

The field of speech-language pathology continues to grow as we learn from research, clinical experience, and the voices of neurodivergent individuals themselves. Every client deserves to leave therapy feeling more capable, more confident, and more accepted than when they arrived.

At Speech in Motion, we believe communication should never come at the expense of identity.

As a neurodiversity-affirming speech therapy practice serving families across Long Island, we are committed to providing compassionate, evidence-informed care that respects each individual's unique strengths, preferences, and communication style.

Our therapists partner with families to create meaningful goals that support participation, independence, and confidence—not masking or forced conformity. We celebrate all forms of communication and recognize that every person deserves to be heard exactly as they are.

Because great speech therapy isn't about changing who someone is.

It's about helping them communicate, connect, and thrive while honoring their authentic self.
