Lindsey is an Augmentative and Alternative communication (AAC) specialist. She has spent her entire career working with children on the Autsim Spectrum and within ABA settings. She has also worked extensively with children that are Deaf and Hard of Hearing.  

Lindsey's therapeutic philosophy centers around life skills.and functionality in settings outside of speech therapy.  She believes that a child's goals should be addressed through topics that are important to them and their families.  Therapy should be fun and functional!  Additionally, Lindsey likes to incorporate family members or other important individuals (teachers, friends etc.) into therapy whenever possible.
