Pediatric Speech-Language & Literacy Services has been working with children for over 30 years.
The family is at the heart of our practice. We provide world class speech and language services to help children and young adults with all forms of communication challenges. We always keep in mind the circle of learning from spoken to written language (receptive language, expressive language, social language, reading and writing) so they evolve into life long learners.
We work with all budgets. Our insurance partners are Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, United Health Care and Anthem. We also take private payment.
If your family is close to Danbury, Ridgefield, Bethel, Brookfield, Redding, New Fairfield, Brewster, Patterson or Northern Westchester we invite you to learn more about how we can help your child by simply giving us a call or emailing us:
We do thorough, accurate diagnostic evaluations.
We develop programs to improve speech intelligibility, social and language competency to immediately improve academic performance.
We provide oral motor and feeding support.
We help advocate for you to highlight important goals at your PPT or IEP meetings.
We provide in-home support when requested for toy selection, executive function organization, language-based academic intervention including home schooling support.
We always use blended technology to enhance the circle of learning-life!
Communication is the key to a life of connection and we are deeply passionate about this work. I believe in working with the whole child, rather than working on one isolated issue and I think that is a key to our success. Even after 30 years, I still love one-of-a-kind interactions with little ones and am always excited to work with young adults. Additionally, our staff supports family centered non-verbal and verbal communication to facilitate a wonderful circle of learning. We proudly help establish attention, efficient processing, and the ability to manipulate spoken and written word to create communicative competence.
Typically referred by pediatricians and listed by schools, we encourage parents and other professionals to inquire about our programs. We also consult for private schools on curriculum development and perform screenings to detect language processing and dyslexia early. You can reach us here:
"We hired Laureen as a speech pathologist for my developmentally delayed son over 6 years ago. From the very beginning her expertise in speech, reading, writing, and developmental delays has been invaluable and so crucial to my son's successes. I would highly recommend her to anyone. We have continued to use Laureen over the years because she has always kept us on the cutting edge of techniques and technologies to use with my son. He continues to make great progress because of her extensive experience and innovative ideas. Laureen also has a unique talent for understanding a child's cognitive style and being able to best match that with the latest technologies and strategies. My daughter has also participated in Laureen's Homework Helpers program. This program has been hugely successful in that it has helped my daughter with executive functioning skills, organizational strategies, writing strategies, test taking skills, social skills, and overall confidence so critical to a child in the middle school years. I would highly recommend Laureen and these programs she offers."
"My family has used Laureen's services for both speech in the early years, and homework help since middle school. Laureen was able to provide that extra curricula activity and nurturing that enabled our son to be successful from elementary school to high school, where he is now a Junior and a member of the National Honour Society. Along the way, our son has learnt to become self motivated and to ask for extra help when needed. We highly recommend Laureen and her staff for children who need that specialised nudge to get them going and be happy and successful in life."
"Laureen is a fabulous, caring speech professional. Over 25 years, I have referred many families to her with different, complicated issues. In each case, she has taken up the challenge to find the best appraoch to help that particular individual. If you need an expert in speech and language literacy, a consultation with Laureen is the place to start."
