Welcome to Southern Ocean Speech Therapy!
S.O.S.T. is a mobile speech therapy practice currently providing Summer services throughout Southern Ocean County. This is a great way for children with a current IEP to maintain communication skills and speech sounds and avoid the ‘Summer Slide’. Working with children and families in their natural environments is also the best way to support carryover of skills!
Speech Sounds
We used research-based approaches to help your child practice targeted speech sounds and phonological processes.
AAC Support
We will support and coach families in using Aided Language Stimulation, or Modeling, for children who currently use AAC devices to communicate, such as Ipads with communication apps.
.
Language Delay
We incorporate a child’s interests in supporting language development and believe in the importance of a play-based child led approach with our young learners.
Gestalt Language Processors
Jennifer is trained in the Natural Language Acquisition approach for working with our amazing gestalt language processors who communicate through echolalia and scripts.

Owner, Speech-Language Pathologist
Hi! My name is Jennifer and I have been working as a Speech Language Pathologist for 9+ years with amazing children of all ages and abilities in public and special services schools throughout New Jersey, as well as early intervention, homes and private practice.
I believe in the importance of making connections with children while supporting their speech sound development and language goals, and also practice Play-Based Child-Led, and Neurodiversity-Affirming therapy. I am excited to offer summer and ESY speech therapy services to support our young and school-aged communicators!
