Prior to joining the team at Garden State Speech Therapy, Erica worked in various Special education programs (Early Intervention, Preschool, and School age), conducted evaluations, did homecare, and worked in private practice. During this time, Erica worked with children on the Autism Spectrum Disorder, assisted children utilizing Augmentative communication devices, treated motor and phonological disorders, targeted fluency, receptive and expressive language, pragmatics, feeding, and structed play therapy.  Erica has been fortunate to work alongside other therapists and medical professionals, which has taught her the importance of a multidisciplinary team approach.  

Erica understands the need for a personal approach to therapy as no two clients ever present the same exact way. She utilizes an evidenced based practice to therapy and refers to the various trainings (PROMPT, SOS Approach to Feeding, TEACCH, Nancy Kaufman Motor Speech Disorders, DIR Floortime, PECS, etc.) in order to create a customized treatment plan to best meet the individual needs of each client and their family.
