speech language therapist

Communicating, being able to give voice to one’s needs is for me an act poetically full of resistance and existence.
The goal that always guides my therapeutic agreements is to achieve a good quality of life. This implies a balanced therapeutic alliance with families, synergic teamwork, a moment of observation and scrupulous evaluation to draw up an intervention plan with short, medium and long-term objectives, counseling appropriate to the cases, continuous communication. In choosing reference models, methods, tools, objectives for each situation, I always consult with the team or, if this has not yet been formed, with the patient’s reference figures, to guarantee an effective, targeted and personalized intervention.
In speech therapy, especially with minors, I set clear rules and limits, I prepare “my internal setting” for the sessions, I structure the settings to accommodate different children, I keep the objectives defined, but with the great possibility of modulating day by day and situation by situation and guiding the session in the serenity of the patients. I think that the world is already complex enough for children, adults and the elderly and I would like the space of the speech therapy session not to be experienced as stressful and demanding, but as a neutral time in which to learn new skills or rediscover skills.
