Emily A Johnson, MS CCC-SLP
Hi, I'm Emily! I'm a speech-language pathologist based in Queens, NY, specializing in play-based therapy with the birth to 3-year old population. It is my absolute passion to help children improve their communication skills to enhance their quality of life. With over 20 years of experience, I've seen the radical difference it makes when parents and caregivers are involved in the therapy process. I will work collaboratively with you to not only build your child's skills, but equip you with the strategies and the confidence you need to help your child reach their full communicative potential.
How It Works
1. We'll set up a free 20-min Consultation
We'll start here and you'll tell me what's going on with your child. During this introductory phone call, I'll ask you some questions to determine if a speech-language evaluation is warranted. I will also answer any questions you may have and we'll make sure we're a good fit for each other.
2. We'll schedule an in-person Evaluation
We'll meet in Sunnyside, Queens at Kinetic PT, OT, LLC. Using a variety of engaging toys and activities, I'll assess your child's speech and language skills through PLAY! Additional information will be gathered through parent/caregiver reports, and we'll combine it all to create a profile of your child's communication strengths and challenges. You will receive a written summary that includes speech and language goals, should therapy be recommended for your child.
3. We'll get to work!
We'll set a weekly or bi-weekly time to meet in-person. During these play-based sessions, I'll use motivating toys and games to target specific speech and language skills. I will model strategies and you will get hands-on practice that you can replicate as "homework" until our next session. There will be time built into each session for any questions you may have. In addition, we will schedule a video visit where you walk me through your child's play space and show me the toys and materials you have in your home. This will help to customize a therapy plan that's unique to your child!
“In addition to the amazing progress in my daughter's speech, her self-confidence and desire to share ideas with others has come into full bloom as a result of her sessions with Emily.”
