About
Bridges is a private speech-language pathology practice with a special focus on finding creative solutions to communication challenges.
Our Values
-Family involvement: Communication does not happen in a vacuum. Your child/spouse/parent/family member will likely make some progress in one-on-one sessions, but will make immeasurably more progress if we work as a team to both identify and address communication barriers.
-Transparency: As a team working together for your family member, we need to communicate openly. I will be forthright about your family member’s prognosis, different treatment approaches, and what I know and don’t know.
-Evidence-based: I prioritize staying abreast of research developments in speech-language pathology. I will keep you informed of the state of the evidence pertaining to your family member’s communication difference or disorder.
-Neurodiversity-affirming: Different brains function differently, and this is both normal and acceptable! Neurological variations like those seen in autism, ADHD, and dyslexia require both acceptance and environmental accommodations.
-Scope of competence: The field of speech-language pathology is broad and encompasses an array of disorders and differences. I have specific skills and areas of expertise within the field, and I will not practice outside my scope of competence.
