About Jamie
Therapeutic Approach
Jamie believes that each session should be individually tailored to the child. No two children are the same, regardless of diagnosis. Sixth Borough Speech focuses on individualizing each session based on the child’s interests to ensure motivation and focus throughout the session. Sessions are planned to take a holistic, multi-sensory approach designed to fit the needs of each child. Sixth Borough Speech believes that carry-over across settings is crucial for progress. We will always provide parent coaching, activities for home, and communicate with classroom teachers or other school-based team members whenever required.
