Jamie received her Masters in Speech-Language Pathology from Massachusetts General Hospital Institute and has worked with children of all ages in homes, schools, private practices, and hospitals. She is certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, and trained in PROMPT (Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets), and children’s yoga. Jamie combines her educational, medical, and mindfulness backgrounds to create creative, meaningful, and individualized approaches to learning for each of her clients.

Children learn most effectively when they feel safe, supported, and organized in their bodies. Their ability to set goals, make a plan, respond to setbacks, regulate emotions, and manage conflict are all closely tied to their ability to learn reading, writing, and arithmetic. 

Mindfulness increases the ability to notice and pay attention using all the senses, music enhances neuroplasticity, and movement results in improved cognitive skills, such as attention and memory. 

When these domains are used to create a solid foundation, learning becomes fun, motivating, and organizing to the body. Clients of all ages become eager to participate, and carry over what they learned from week to week. Students more questions, persist through challenging material, demonstrate resilience after making mistakes, and engage with learning in a new and exciting way. 

Jamie creates customized treatment plans for each of her clients by forming meaningful relationships with them, identifying and focusing on strengths, and collaborating with other professionals in the medical and educational fields. She integrates movement, visuals, and music with research-based strategies in to all of her sessions to help kids create a strong foundation for building executive function skills, learning, and socializing.
