Get To Know Jodi
Education
I hold a Master of Communication Disorders from Boston University and a Bachelor’s Degree in Hearing and Speech Sciences from the University of Maryland. Collaboration, co-treatment with other professionals, and extensive trainings have provided me with knowledge in sensory integration techniques, applied behavioral analysis (ABA), the SCERTS model, LIPS, Visualizing and Verbalizing and PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System). I have extensive experience treating Apraxia which includes being trained in PROMPT and DTTC. All of these trainings have made a significant impact in the children I have treated.
Work
I am a licensed speech and language pathologist specializing in pediatrics with over 27 years experience in the Massachusetts and Ohio areas. I currently have a private practice in the greater Cincinnati area that focuses on children with a wide range of needs. My prior experience includes work in the field of early intervention and the public school system before settling into my own private practice. I spent many years specializing in autism and worked alongside board certified behavior analysts (BCBA) daily. This provided me with extensive knowledge in the principals of applied behavioral analysis.
Personal
In 2008, with the birth of my third child, I became not only a speech-language pathologist, but also the mother of a child with global apraxia. As a result, I have become engrossed in all things apraxia and now consider myself an expert in this area. Having a child with special needs has given me a unique perspective that has made me a much better mother and speech-language pathologist. I am able to serve as an advocate acquiring the best programming for your child.
