Laura Manzi - Expert Pediatric Therapist on the North Shore of MA
Helping Kids Thrive with Speech Therapy
Hi, I'm Laura
I am a very enthusiastic Speech-Language Pathologist! My experience includes working with a range of abilities in schools, private clinics, & homes. I currently work in a preschool. I love to incorporate creative play, movement, and music in my sessions, and I believe that we see the greatest amount of progress when a child is feeling comfortable and having fun.
Why I love what I do:
I love seeing progress with a child's communication and supporting families through what can be a confusing and overwhelming time. I genuinely enjoy playing and having fun, as well as seeing a child's confidence grow as their ability to communicate grows.
Why I’m passionate about in-home care:
I know that traveling to clinics can be a barrier for families. I think in-home therapy is most functional, especially for young kids, because home is their primary environment, so skills are more likely to be generalized. Additionally, I believe that it is important to coach and empower caregivers to be a part of therapy.
My Specialties
I specialize in:
How my practice is special
Whole-Child & Family-Centered Approach
I view each child as a whole person and take their family and environment into account throughout the therapy process, creating more meaningful and individualized support.
Honest, Down-to-Earth Communication
I’m honest and straightforward, and I understand the real life challenges families face—especially the specific challenges that come with raising a child with a disability.
Parent Empowerment Through Transparency
I want to empower parents to be part of therapy while meeting them where they are—not putting an unrealistic amount of pressure on them. I like to explain what I’m doing so they understand the therapy process and how I’m thinking.
