Speech & Language Therapy
Private Speech and Language Therapy Services
I'm so glad you're here! My name is Lauren Hepp, M.S. CCC-SLP/AT. I provide personalized, skilled therapy services in the comfort of your home or community space. I provide services in the areas of: speech sounds (articulation, phonology, apraxia), receptive and expressive language, social skills, voice, speech fluency, and assistive and augmentative communication.
My personal mission is to motivate individuals to become the best version of themselves through personalized, structured practice on skills that matter most to improve overall quality of life. I utilize evidence-based research, clinical judgment, and compassion for best therapeutic practices.
About Me
I completed my masters degree program in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire in 2016. I have 9+ years of experience in various settings, from birth-to-three outpatient and home-visits, adult outpatient, and public, private, charter, and alternative schools. Currently, I service students ages 3-21 in the public schools during the school year and service clients privately in the school-year evenings and during summers.

Helping You Achieve Your Communication Goals
I specialize in clients with:
*Speech and language delays and difficulties
*Childhood apraxia of speech
*Speech fluency/stuttering
*Social communication difficulties
*Augmentative and assistive communication (AAC)
*Developmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder
*Psychological disorders such as emotional behavior disorder
​
I am an American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) certified speech-language pathologist in the state of Wisconsin (Department of Safety and Professional Services), hold my national Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCCs), and as of June 2020, hold my Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction - Assistive Technology Certification (attended California State University - Northridge). Additionally, I have completed certifications in (1) SCERTS: Social Communication, Emotional Regulation, and Transactional Support, (2) DTTC: Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing, which supports childhood apraxia of speech, and (3) ASHA's Supervision Professional Development, which allows me to mentor Clinical Fellow (CF) SLPs.
How to Begin The Process
Services are determined through a review of existing documentation, a client/family-therapist interview via phone, and an evaluation consisting of informal and/or formal data. If your child has an Individual Education Plan (IEP) in the schools that is current within the past year, we can follow those goals during summer to bridge growth until the next school year; no new evaluation needed.
​
If you are concerned or unsure about a loved one's or a child's speech or language development or abilities, please contact me for a free phone consultation. I want families to understand what is typical vs. atypical and know when a referral is necessary. I am happy to provide you with community resources to support communication if a full evaluation is not recommended.
