Meet Lauren

Speech-Language Pathologist
MS, CCC-SLP, TSSLD

Lauren Groth (she/her) has over 10 years of experience in the field of speech-language pathology. She has experience across all ages in a variety of settings, such as preschools, day treatment centers, public schools, a skilled nursing facility, and a voice specialty clinic. Having a brother with a developmental disability has given Lauren a unique view of what it’s like to be “on the other side of the table” and the importance of compassion in her work. She believes that relationships are the most important factor to success, and clients can only make changes if they feel supported when trying something new. Lauren engages her clients with enthusiasm and empathy, and she’s constantly looking for what makes each person “tick.”

Lauren is an ASHA certified speech-language pathologist. She holds both New York State Licensure in Speech-Language Pathology and a certificate as a Teacher of Students with Speech and Language Disabilities. She received her Bachelor of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders at SUNY Geneseo, with an additional major in Vocal Performance. Lauren received her Master of Science in Communication Disorders and Sciences from Emerson College. She has specialized training in Natural Language Acquisition through Meaningful Speech.

Our Philosophy

Every individual deserves to communicate. In order for change to happen, clients need to feel supported and heard. By prioritizing genuine relationships and making authentic connections, we can help each person blossom to their full potential. We are neurodiversity-affirming, which means that we honor and enhance what makes neurodivergent individuals unique, rather than changing them. Instead of focusing on compliance, we use their strengths and personal interests to encourage progress that is meaningful to each individual and their family.
