SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST, COACH, DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS

Lauren Rosenblum, M.S., CCC-SLP is our Director of Operations here at Spectrum Services and coordinates care between the community and our clinicians. She understands that the process of searching for the right services for yourself or your loved one can be an incredibly overwhelming, isolating process, and she values making thoughtful connections between our clients and clinicians. Whether you are here for an assessment, coaching, therapy, or simply to ask about resources in your area, we are here to help.

Lauren is also a licensed speech-language pathologist in New York and Connecticut. As a speech-language pathologist and neurodiverse life coach, Lauren specializes in helping her clients build their social connections and improve their executive functioning skills. She is passionate about helping her clients communicate more effectively, process the world around them, and foster positive relationships with others.

Lauren works with people of all ages and abilities on social skills (e.g., friendship-building, dating, relationship maintenance, social safety, nonverbal language, and self-advocacy), independent living skills (e.g., budgeting, cooking, cleaning), executive functioning (time management, planning and prioritizing, making and keeping appointments), and college/career planning, transitioning, and development through supportive, reflective conversations and role-playing.

Lauren earned a Master of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Teachers College, Columbia University. Lauren holds a Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), is certified as a Teacher of Students with Speech and Language Disabilities (TSSLD), and she is an IBCCES Certified Student Mental Health Specialist (SMHS).

Autism

“The impulse to heal is real and powerful and lies within the client. Our job is to evoke that healing power… and support it in its expression and development. We are not the healers. We are the context in which healing is inspired.”
- Ron Kurtz

Trauma

“Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness...Trauma is about loss of connection—to ourselves, our bodies, our families, to others, and to the world around us. This disconnection is often hard to recognize because it doesn't happen all at once but rather over time.”
- Peter Levine

OCD

“A lot of people assume that having OCD means liking things organized or hating germs. It tends to be treated like a quirk or an endearing trait. But it's so much more than that. It's the one thing that prohibits me from being free of myself.” - Whitney Amazeen

ADHD

“Think of having ADHD in this way… You have a ‘Ferrari’ brain but with ‘Chevy’ brakes.”
- Jonathan Mooney
