Narrative

Lauren received her Master’s degree from the University of Rhode Island in 2014. She began working with children with complex communication needs and behavioral challenges in a specialized day school setting immediately upon graduation. Lauren
primarily enjoys treating students with autism spectrum disorders and developmental disabilities. She is passionate about implementing appropriate and effective
communication systems for nonverbal, or minimally verbal, clients.

She has utilized a wide variety of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) systems and supports her students. Examples include low-tech communication systems/supports (e.g., PECS, PODD, communication books/boards, etc.), mid-tech communication systems/supports (e.g., Go-Talk 4, Go-Talk 20, etc.), and high-tech devices (e.g., iPad loaded with communication applications such as Proloquo2Go or TouchChat).

As a therapist, Lauren strives to facilitate spontaneous and meaningful communicative interactions for her clients. In her free time, she enjoys hiking and walking with her dog Ruby & husband Alex. She also enjoys going to the beach, reading thriller/mystery novels, running, painting, drinking coffee, and decorating.
