So nice to meet you!

Welcome to C2C! We are certified speech-language pathologists passionate about coaching families of young children to learn early communication and regulation strategies. We have years of experience in early intervention (birth to three) and school settings. We are skilled in the evaluation and treatment of children with developmental delays, hearing and vision issues, complex needs, and autism.
Our time spent with families in their homes has brought us a wealth of knowledge about the struggles families face with timely diagnosis and support for children demonstrating early signs of autism. We learned about the earliest signs of autism through years of observation, listening to parents, and collaboration with multidisciplinary colleagues. Although each child and family is unique, there are patterns when we listen closely to families' descriptions and observations. These stories have inspired our work and mission to support caregivers and our colleagues in the community to collaborate in providing environments where children can grow to become their unique selves.
We offer comprehensive evaluations for early communication, speech, and language, and to assess Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC) skills/needs. Our treatment model for all communication and language needs is through coaching and partnering with caregivers. These services are offered in-person or virtually in Massachusetts.

Questions you might have…
-
We believe that working with families and children is a journey. Maybe you’re at the very beginning of your journey and just starting to wonder if your child might need support with communication. Perhaps someone else mentioned communication delays but you’re not sure. Or you might be well into your journey and looking to support your child’s next steps. Often the journey starts with questions and wondering together. We are here to partner with you when the time is right.
-
We start by listening to understand your needs and priorities for your child’s communication. Our goal is to partner with you and discover together how and why your child communicates, building on their interests and skills. We provide 30-40 minute sessions at our center in Agawam or virtually. We coach and guide you to use specific strategies throughout your typical day with your child.
