About Montclair Speech Therapy

Montclair Speech Therapy is a private practice based at 17 Watchung Plaza in Montclair, New Jersey, and the website states that it serves families across Northern New Jersey. The clinic provides outpatient care for infants, toddlers, children, teens, adults, and seniors, including medically fragile patients as well as people with mild to moderate impairments. Its speech pathology services include speech and language therapy, swallowing and feeding therapy, fluency and voice therapy, and cognitive rehabilitation. Across its service pages, the practice describes support for speech sound and articulation problems, language delays, apraxia, dysarthria, aphasia, selective mutism, voice and fluency disorders, swallowing and feeding challenges, language-based learning difficulties, and cognitive-communication issues connected to stroke, traumatic brain injury, dementia, and other cognitive conditions.

The website presents Montclair Speech Therapy as an evidence-based, family-friendly practice that builds individualized care plans around each person’s strengths, needs, and goals. Treatment is described as patient-centered and functional, using approaches such as play, family training, facilitative language environments, and real-world activities to improve communication, confidence, and independence outside the therapy room. Feeding services are described as systematic and whole-child focused, with attention to sensory, motor, medical, and behavioral factors while helping reduce stress around mealtimes for both clients and caregivers. The practice is led by Lori Caplan-Colon, M.S. CCC-SLP, CLC, a New Jersey licensed and ASHA-certified speech-language pathologist with more than 21 years of experience. Her training listed on the site includes PROMPT, TalkTools Level 3, the SOS Approach to Feeding, advanced study in Pediatric Dysphagia through New York Medical College, coursework in orofacial myology, and Certified Lactation Counselor credentials. The therapist page also highlights a broader clinical team, including speech-language pathologists with experience across pediatric, adult, AAC, feeding, swallowing, and neurologic care.
