Diane Leffler

I am a Certified Speech Language Pathologist with the American Speech and Hearing Association, ASHA, as well as a Certified Practicing Speech Pathologist, with Speech Pathology Australia, SPA. I am primarily working in the virtual world, providing speech and language therapy services through telepractice. International and local appointments are available via Zoom: free video conferencing.

Are you looking for private speech and language therapy in the comfort of your home? Imagine, no more sitting in traffic or rushing home to make dinner. Rather, prepare dinner while your child is in the next room, face to face, with his/her virtual speech and language pathologist. Or join the session and learn hands on ways to assist your child with his/her speech and language development. You now have more quality time to spend with your family, as well as flexibility with scheduling at-home sessions. Meanwhile, your child is able to receive high-quality speech and language therapy, is motivated and engaged with the use of technology.

All you need is a quiet space, a computer, an internet connection. Some children may need to have an adult present during the session, depending on the needs of the child.

I have 20 years of experience working with school-aged children and young adults with various communication needs, including speech sound errors, receptive and expressive language difficulties, and disorders, social language disorders/social skills, and stuttering. I am a passionate educator and I believe that all children should have access to high-quality educational supports and should not be limited by rural locations or the lack of Speech Language Pathologists in their area.

I am available to consult with you regarding your child's educational and learning needs.

In addition to my passion for working with children, I am a Certified Compton - PESL Instructor since 2011, trained to work with adults in the area of accent modification and reduction. Is your accent affecting your ability to communicate clearly at work? or do you fear that others do not understand you when you give a presentation? If so, accent modification may be right for you.
