About

A practice centered on
real communication goals

Lori Speaks was founded on a simple belief: every person deserves to communicate in ways that work for their life. Based in Montclair, New Jersey, the practice serves children and adults across a wide range of speech, language, fluency, voice, and swallowing needs.

Sessions are available both in-person at the Montclair office and via secure telehealth, making therapy accessible regardless of schedule or location. Each plan is built from a thorough evaluation and adjusted as progress is made — no cookie-cutter approaches.

Insurance coverage varies by plan and provider. We recommend calling the number on your insurance card to confirm speech-language pathology benefits, and we're happy to provide any documentation you may need for out-of-network reimbursement.

We work with children and adults across the lifespan. Therapy plans are tailored to the individual's age, diagnosis, and communication goals — from early language development to late-life neurological changes.

Session length depends on the individual's needs and age. Initial evaluations are typically longer, while follow-up therapy sessions are scheduled based on the treatment plan and goals established together.

Research supports telehealth as an effective delivery method for many speech-language goals. The approach that works best depends on the individual — we'll discuss options during your consultation.
