About Collaborative Speech and Language Therapy, LLC

Collaborative Speech & Language Therapy is a pediatric private practice serving families in Shelton, Monroe, Trumbull, Fairfield, Milford, Newtown, Easton, and nearby areas of Connecticut. The practice focuses on speech, language, literacy, and social skills for children. Based on the website, services include support for speech sound disorders, receptive and expressive language needs, auditory processing, literacy development, and social communication. The clinic describes work in areas such as articulation, phonological disorders, childhood apraxia of speech, fluency, pre-reading and reading skills, phonemic awareness, decoding, reading comprehension, play skills, conversational skills, peer interactions, and non-verbal communication. Teletherapy and in-home services are both offered.

The practice is led by Danielle Carley, M.A., CCC-SLP, owner and speech-language pathologist. The website states that she has more than 20 years of clinical experience across public schools and private practice. Her academic background includes a B.S. in Communication Disorders from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst and an M.A. in Speech-Language Pathology from Hofstra University. Collaborative Speech & Language Therapy presents its care model as relationship-based and collaborative, with an emphasis on involving caregivers and other professionals in the therapy process. The practice also notes that treatment uses evidence-based methods along with interactive, play-based, school-related, and real-life activities depending on the area being addressed. Families can begin with a free consultation call with Danielle, followed by a speech-language evaluation that includes a parent interview and formal assessment measures. If therapy is recommended, goals are developed in partnership with the family and weekly sessions are scheduled, with parents invited to participate and progress reviewed on an ongoing basis.
