Emily Riedel Porto M.S. CCC-SLP
Co-Founder
My name is Emily Riedel, and I am a licensed, ASHA certified Speech Language Pathologist. I am a native of Loudoun County. I received my undergraduate degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the University of Virginia and my masters degree in Speech Language Pathology from Radford University. I have experience working with the pediatric population within school, outpatient, and early intervention settings. In all of these settings, I provide coaching for teachers, parents, and guardians to facilitate language and social growth for children.
I am grateful for the presence of meaningful relationships in my own life. I feel passionate about helping children learn the skills needed to foster their own relationships. I facilitate this through a combination of applying my techniques and training with my genuine love and compassion for children and their families. This passion directed me to receive additional training with the PROMPT (Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets) institute, SOS (Sequential-Oral-Sensory) Approach to Feeding, SOFFI (Supporting Oral Feeding in Fragile Infants), Gestalt Language Processing, and Michelle Garcia Winner’s Social Thinking. I am also an ADHD-Certified Rehabilitation Services Provider (ADHD-RSP). These trainings emphasized the importance of treating the whole child within the cognitive-linguistic, social-emotional, and motor domains to meet individualized and functional goals.
My name is Victoria Starr and I am a licensed, ASHA certified Speech Language Pathologist. I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of Maryland in Hearing and Speech Sciences and my master's degree in Speech Language Pathology from Pennsylvania State University. While earning my master's degree, I completed a fellowship through the AAC Collaboration Grant focused on training SLPs to work with individuals with complex communication needs who require Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). I have experience providing speech therapy services in a variety of settings including schools, outpatient hospital clinics, homes, private practice, and teletherapy. I have evaluated and treated individuals with articulation and phonological disorders, language disorders, gestalt language processing, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, intellectual disabilities, and traumatic brain injury.
I am very passionate about working with individuals so they may build their functional communication skills so they are able to form meaningful relationships and engage in society. This has led me to complete additional trainings and education in the areas of AAC and Social Thinking. I am dedicated to providing services that address the individual concerns of the child and the family so they may achieve their communication goals!
