Best Speech Therapists In Milwaukee Near Me

4worldlovers: Hi there! My name is Lauren DuVal, M.S. CCC-SLP. I provide personalized, skilled therapy services in the comfort of your home or community. I provide services in the areas of: speech sounds, language, social skills, voice, speech fluency, and assistive and augmentative communication.

My personal mission is to motivate individuals to become the best version of themselves through personalized, structured practice on skills that matter most to improve overall quality of life. I utilize evidence-based research, clinical judgment, and compassion for best therapeutic practices.

I completed my masters degree program in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire in 2016. I have 7+ years of experience in various settings, from birth-to-three outpatient and home-visits, adult outpatient, skilled nursing facilities, and public schools. Currently, I service students ages 3-21 in the public schools during the school year and service clients privately in the school-year evenings and during summers.

I am an American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) certified speech-language pathologist in the state of Wisconsin (Department of Safety and Professional Services), hold my national Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCCs), and as of June 2020, hold my Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction - Assistive Technology Certification. I have completed certificate programs in Assistive Technology from California State University - Northridge as well as SCERTS: Social Communication, Emotional Regulation, and Transactional Support. Additionally, I have training in Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC) and Rapid Syllable Transition Treatment (ReST) which supports childhood apraxia of speech.

Services are determined through a review of existing documentation, a client-therapist interview, and an evaluation consisting of informal and/or formal data.

If you are concerned or unsure about a loved one's or a child's speech or language development or abilities, please contact me for a free phone consultation. I want families to understand what is typical vs. atypical and know when a referral is necessary. I am happy to provide you with community resources to support communication if a full evaluation is not recommended.

Please get in touch via the contact form below to schedule an initial consultation. I look forward to communicating with you!

Rates are based on session length and include a review of targets and strategies used during each session, ideas for carryover activities, regular communication with other service providers (if consent), material creation, and my travel.

Private pay is accepted at this time (cash, personal check, HSA); however, a superbill can be provided to the family upon request for insurance reimbursement by the family. It is the family's responsibility to communicate with their insurance to determine if a superbill is accepted as well as if prior authorization is needed or there is a limit to sessions per year.

Complete evaluation which includes formal and/or informal assessments, analysis, a written report, and a team meeting about the results and suggested plan. Recommended if no history of services or most recent evaluation is over 1+ year old.
