Screenings & Evaluations:

We provide screenings to determine if a full evaluation is recommended. Our comprehensive speech and language evaluations determine your child’s strengths and weaknesses. Based on the results of the evaluation, we will develop a plan for therapy to help your child achieve their goals.

An evaluation is required prior to services being rendered. This helps guide our treatment goals, therapy approach, and session frequency to help obtain the best treatment outcomes.

Talking Points Speech Therapy will accept outside evaluations that have been conducted within the last 6 months.

Meet Your Speech Therapist

Maureen Bartoli M.A., CCC-SLP

Owner, Speech-Language Pathologist

Welcome! As a pediatric speech language pathologist, I'm all about supporting your child's communication journey and helping them reach their full potential. By setting goals that are just right for their challenges, needs, and expectations, I'm dedicated to making sure they make the most progress possible. I truly believe that the quality of our interactions and the bond we form can really boost their growth.

As your child’s speech therapist, I prioritize understanding where your child is developmentally and then building their skills from there. My treatment plans and therapy sessions are tailored to your child’s interests and include games and activities to keep things fun and engaging. Plus, I love creating personalized materials to ensure our treatments are not just effective but also super motivating.

  • "Maureen excelled in conducting comprehensive evaluations and diagnostic planning as a school based clinician."

    “Her keen eye for detail and a thorough understanding of speech and language disorders have been instrumental in developing effective treatment plans. She has consistently been praised for her compassionate approach and her commitment to keeping parents informed and engaged in their child’s progress.”

    ~ D.V., Director of Special Services

  • "Not only does Maureen excel in the building of student's skills, but she also worked so hard to build student's confidence for long term growth."

    “After students have worked with Maureen, I noticed several of the students’ ambition, drive, determination, and over all amiability become enhanced as a correlation to the speech sessions.”

    ~ R.E., Principal

  • "Maureen is kind and supportive to both parents and children. Her warm enthusiasm, coupled with her expertise, was just the help our family needed in supporting our 5 year old progressing on the sounds he was having trouble with."

    ~ D.S., Parent
