Education, Training & Communication Consulting
While my foundation is in forensic speech-language pathology, my work extends beyond case-based evaluations into consulting, training, and education. I prioritize helping legal teams, healthcare providers, and families understand and navigate communication and cognitive differences in a practical, usable way. This allows my expertise to have a broader impact—supporting better decision-making, reducing risk, and improving outcomes across systems, not just within individual cases.
