Professional Background

My name is Angela Polloni. I’ve been a fully licensed and certified speech-language pathologist in the state of New York since 2019. I also hold my professional teaching license, Teacher of Students with Speech and Language Disabilities (TSSLD), in New York State. I received my Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology from Adelphi University in 2018 and my Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Queens College, CUNY. I have experience working with individuals from 2 years old across the lifespan with varying delays and disorders. When I'm not working I enjoy pilates, yoga, going to the beach, and reading!

My experience in speech-language pathology includes: 

  • Private pediatric clinic (ages 2 through school-age)

  • General education grades K-8

  • ICT classes grades K-5

  • Special education with the NYC DOE District 75 grades K-8

  • Outpatient medical-based clinic for adults 

My areas of expertise in this field include:

  • Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) 

  • Language delays and disorders

  • Speech delays and disorders including articulation and phonological disorders

  • Reading and writing deficits 

  • Aphasia

My Philosophy
"Throughout my therapy sessions, I maintain a safe space for my clients to feel comfortable to approach me with any problem they may be facing, and where they can feel mutual respect, trust, and compassion throughout the learning process. I believe in meeting individuals at their current ability levels and working with them to grow and develop their skills. This includes fostering access to and functional use of their preferred modes of communication through a multimodal approach to teaching (visual, verbal, kinesthetic). I believe in helping individuals achieve goals that are meaningful and functional to them. I want them to build on their relationships with their friends and family members through increased communication and shared experiences. I believe in the power of literacy and that every child and adult should have access to literacy instruction to help them explore new ideas, find new interests, and connect to the world around them. I believe in fostering independence by encouraging self-advocacy and self-confidence in my clients to try new things and not be afraid to make mistakes in the learning process. "

Featured Services

10 min

Free Consultation

10 minute phone call

Discuss basic concerns about your child's speech and language development or current skills. If you wish, we can expand to a full consultative model (30 minute paid session). Another option is to jump right in to starting an Evaluation or Treatment sessions after our initial conversation. You decide what works best for you and we will guide you through every step!

30 min

Speech and Language Consultations

Initial Consultation

Consultations are offered to determine if you or your child would benefit from a speech and language evaluation or treatment. Consultations can also be scheduled in order to obtain tips and best practices to use at home, without scheduling treatment sessions. This is not a mandatory prerequisite to a formal Evaluation and can be held at the discretion of the client.

60 min

Speech and Language Evaluations

Evaluation

A formal/comprehensive evaluation can be held to accurately diagnose and understand the speech and language needs of you or your child. Skills are carefully evaluated via review of developmental history, clinical observation, and standardized testing. Assessment procedures depend on the age of the client; young children are assessed in an informal play-based environment. Evaluation results will determine if and how frequent speech and language therapy should occur. A written report will be provided and is included in the Evaluation fee.

30 min

Speech and Language Treatment Sessions

Frequency and duration vary (30-60 minutes)

Speech and language therapy services encompass evidence-based therapies to improve communication skills in all modalities. The number of sessions per week and the length of each session are determined after consultation or evaluation. This is called the mandate for services (frequency and duration).
