Welcome to Small Talk Therapy, Inc.!
Nicole Dawson, MA, CCC-SLP
I specialize in providing speech and language therapy and evaluation services to children ages birth to twelve in the southern and western suburbs of Denver, CO.
(Conifer, Evergreen, S. Jefferson County, Western Douglas County, Highlands Ranch, and the surrounding areas)
I teach children and their caregivers within their natural environments including homes, daycares, and private schools. I also provide therapy for older children at my home office in Conifer, CO.
Providing therapy to children in familiar, safe environments, lends itself to quick generalization of newly learned skills. Teaching caregivers strategies and techniques to foster vocabulary, speech, and language skills in their daily routines encourages regular, repetitive, natural modeling that embeds new skills within a child's weekly schedule.
Collaborating with parents to create developmentally appropriate, functional goals, which have a direct impact on family life, sets the stage for achieving desired outcomes. Entrusting parents with the knowledge and tools to teach their child not only strengthens bonds and self confidence among all involved, but is a rewarding and empowering process.
