Private Speech and Language Therapy Services
Hi there! My name is Lauren DuVal, M.S. CCC-SLP. I provide personalized, skilled therapy services in the comfort of your home or community. I provide services in the areas of: speech sounds, 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 7+ years of experience in various settings, from birth-to-three outpatient and home-visits, adult outpatient, skilled nursing facilities, and public 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
*Speech fluency/stuttering
*Social communication difficulties
*Augmentative and assistive technology (AAC)
*Developmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder
*Childhood apraxia of speech
*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. I have completed certificate programs in Assistive Technology from California State University - Northridge as well as SCERTS: Social Communication, Emotional Regulation, and Transactional Support. Additionally, I have training in Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC) and Rapid Syllable Transition Treatment (ReST) which supports childhood apraxia of speech.
How to Begin The Process
Services are determined through a review of existing documentation, a client-therapist interview, and an evaluation consisting of informal and/or formal data.
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.
Please get in touch via the contact form below to schedule an initial consultation. I look forward to communicating with you!
