Q: Do you provide speech-language therapy at InnerLinks?
A: Yes and no. Typical therapy relies on a “top down” approach. It often involves guiding the therapy sessions to encourage children to meet very specific outcomes.
I employ “bottom up” techniques that directly impact the brainstem and midbrain and help to develop stronger connections between the right and left brain hemispheres, which improves overall balance and performance in all communication areas.
While I am a speech-language pathologist, and I use my extensive knowledge regarding speech and language development as my foundation, I prefer to call my approach “communication coaching.”
I make this distinction because, in addition to helping to meet specific speech and language goals (determined by the families), my techniques also positively impact other areas that would not ordinarily be considered in a traditional speech-language pathology evaluate-and-treat protocol.
Q: Does InnerLinks Communication accept insurance or provide superbills?
Given the holistic/family-centered approach, ILC cannot bill insurance or provide documentation to do so as this is not traditional speech-language therapy based on measurable goals. Instead, what ILC offers is an overall wellness service that empowers parents and children and aims to improve family harmony and quality of life by addressing concerns from a foundational level.

Q: How do you measure progress?
With YOU! My family-centered approach means I work with you as a family to create “goals” for yourself and your child/children. I periodically revisit these personalized objectives with you to determine how progress is occurring. Parents and children who are active participants in establishing goals and evaluating progress feel more empowered throughout the process, which results in greater transformation.
Q: What populations do you serve?
ILC serves all populations who would benefit from speech-language therapy. I work with children as individuals, addressing the needs that are most important to them and their families. My ongoing training in reflex integration, craniosacral therapy, and mindfulness techniques is beneficial for all children (and parents) alike, regardless of diagnosis. Given that the modalities that I use are specifically designed to calm the nervous system and build a strong foundation for all development, every population would benefit from this work.
