Already been referred to early intervention?
If your service coordinator or early intervention team connected you with us, you're in the right place. This site walks through what developmental therapy with Lauren looks like, so you know what to expect before your first visit.
One-on-one therapy, working alongside your whole team.
Every session is one-on-one between Lauren and your child, and Lauren works collaboratively with your service coordinator, pediatrician, and any other providers already supporting your family — so everyone is working toward the same goals. Rather than splitting your child's care into separate disciplines, each session addresses the whole child — communication, movement, play, and connection, all woven together.
Communication
Building the foundations of language, gesture, and connection with the people around them.
Movement & Motor Skills
Supporting coordination, fine motor skills, and confidence in their own body.
Social-Emotional Growth
Encouraging regulation, play skills, and connection with family and caregivers.
Therapy rooted in patience, play and progress
Every child grows at their own pace
Lauren believes in the power of play. Young children are constantly learning and expanding their world, and play is how they do it naturally — so that's where therapy happens too. Every session is about teaching kids how to learn, building the confidence that comes from small goals reached on the way to bigger ones.
Early intervention is family-based, and Lauren's focus is on supporting the family to support the child — giving you tools you can use in everyday life, not just during a session. She meets families where they are, building on the skills and values you already have to grow new ones.
We speak to parents like the capable experts on their own kids that they are — plain language over jargon, and a next step at the end of every conversation.
The values behind every session
Warm and inviting
Friendly and encouraging, taking time to understand your concerns and goals together.
Grounded, not clinical
Plain language over jargon, with parent coaching and support built into every conversation.
Encouraging, not vague
Every conversation points toward a concrete next step for your child's growth.
Hi, I'm Lauren, M.A., Early Childhood Special Educator
Lauren was introduced to the world of therapy at a young age while supporting and participating in her younger brother's therapy. She quickly learned this was her calling. Lauren was a Registered Behavior Technician for 10 years, working hand in hand with Applied Behavior Analysis. She then transitioned into Early Intervention as a Service Coordinator and found her true passion — birth to 3 years old, immersed in the home with families. She expanded her education by earning a Master's in Early Childhood Special Education, focusing on all areas of development and the whole child.
Lauren is a mother of 2 children, ages 9 and 4. Her 4-year-old has speech delays and has needed support through therapies — she's learned firsthand about the balance of "real life" and therapy goals.
