Education & Experience 

Lindsay earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Loyola University Maryland in Speech-Language Pathology/Audiology (2006), and a Master of Science degree from Boston University In Speech-Language Pathology (2008). She has received American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) accreditation.

Lindsay has experience with articulation, apraxia of speech, autism, augmentative and alternative communication, selective mutism, aphasia, executive functioning, ADD/ADHD, fluency/stuttering, early intervention, intellectual disability, late language emergence, social communication/pragmatics, phonology, literacy, spoken language disorders, and written language disorders. 

Lindsay evaluated and treated children ages birth to 18-years in homes, schools, and clinics throughout New York City from 2008-2019. She fostered a particularly strong professional relationship with a reputable private Montessori-based preschool in Brooklyn called the Rivendell School.  There she learned an intervention approach from the program director and paraprofessionals known as CORE, which was primarily developed to help children on the autism spectrum:

She is an active member of a Philadelphia based Early Intervention advocacy group that ensures children receive the high quality education and therapeutic intervention they deserve.

She has trained the next generation of speech-language pathologists and supervised graduate students from New York University and Temple University.

Philosophy

Lindsay’s approach combines evidence-based practices with personalized instruction, ensuring each child receives tailored support that allows them to communicate with increased independence at home, school, and the community. She understands empowering caregivers is essential, giving the most important members of a child’s life the strategies needed to ensure carryover of learned communication skills across settings. She is always willing to connect and collaborate with teachers, therapists, and physicians.

Lindsay believes neurodivergence is a difference, and not a deficit. Inclusion, acceptance, cultural sensitivity, and ongoing education are fundamental to her practice. Advocacy, activism, social justice are fundamental to her personal and professional life.
