About Isabella
About Isabella
Isabella is a compassionate speech-language pathologist (SLP) who implements a family-centered and multidisciplinary approach. She helps families facilitate play-based, neurodiversity affirming, and routines-based interventions to maximize their child's interests and generalization of skills. She coaches families with practical strategies to help caregivers connect with their child and support their speech-language-feeding development. She specializes in speech delays, expressive-receptive language disorders, social communication, childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), speech sound disorders, gestalt language development (GLP), feeding, and oral motor skills. Her experiences in school, clinic, and early intervention (birth-3) settings with Occupational Therapist, floor time clinicians, family educators, and nutritionists guide her multidisciplinary approach to speech therapy. She has participated in a variety of trainings related to the topics of infant mental health, childhood apraxia of speech, sensory regulation, and gestalt language development. She is trained in Dynamic Temporal Tactile Cueing (DTTC) and Rapid Syllable Transition Treatment (ReST). Both are evidence-based motor speech treatment approach for CAS. Isabella is certified on the Apraxia Kids SLP registry as an expert in the field. Isabella is now accepting patients with CAS, suspected CAS, speech sound disorders, language challenges, early literacy challenges, or a speech delay ages 12 months-8 years old. Outside of the office, Isabella enjoys being outdoors with her close family and friends! Whether it is enjoying our local beaches, attending to Newport Folk Festival, or hitting the ski slopes in the winter, she leans into the seasons.
