Speech Therapy

On-Site Speech Therapy Support


Having a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) on-site at our clinic allows your child to receive consistent, collaborative speech therapy as part of their overall treatment plan. Our Speech Therapist supports the development of communication skills, including expressive and receptive language, articulation, social communication, and alternative communication methods when needed. By working closely with our ABA and Occupational Therapy teams, our SLP helps ensure communication strategies are reinforced throughout the day, supporting meaningful progress, confidence, and connection at home, school, and in everyday life.

On-Site Speech Pathologist

Hi! My name is Shahmeen Khan, and I’m a certified Speech-Language Pathologist who has worked with children across medical, rehabilitation, and school settings. I earned my Master’s degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Iona University and completed a Bilingual Extension Certificate in Speech-Language Pathology at Columbia University.

I specialized in Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), aphasia, apraxia, dysphagia (including Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallow, FEES), voice disorders, cognitive-communication challenges, hearing impairments, and oral motor deficits. I have worked with non-verbal children, children with autism spectrum disorder, articulation difficulties, language delays, and other communication needs. I often used AAC and alternative communication systems to help children communicate effectively and reach their goals.
