Hi! I am Carly, one of the proud co-owners of Uptown Speech Therapy. I am thrilled to be working alongside Sarah to bring speech services to our hometown and build a community of confident and supportive caregivers. I can’t wait to chat with you more!
Work Experience
I completed my undergraduate and graduate studies at Pitt. Throughout school, I had developed a passion for pre-school and school-age children through working as a research assistant on grants through the Department of Education for literacy and writing intervention. While I lived in Washington, DC, I worked in a private special education school for students with learning differences that focused intensively on reading intervention. For almost the last ten years in Pittsburgh, I have continued to work with the school-age population in school districts and special education schools in Allegheny County while also working in an outpatient pediatric setting. My areas of expertise include pre-school language development, articulation, auditory comprehension, academic and functional vocabulary, executive functioning, social skills, and literacy-based interventions. My therapy style is immersive and incorporates the child’s lifestyle so our sessions are child-led, fun, and engaging.
A Bit More About Me
I reside in Mt. Lebanon with my husband, Eric, our son, Davy, and our dog, Lola. We enjoy visiting family and friends in my husband’s hometown of Boston. I’m often strolling around town as I grab croissants at La Gourmandine, at Bird Park with Lola, or eating my way through the Strip District. You’ll likely bump into me at Barre or Yoga.
