Education/Training
Rachel earned a Master’s of Science in Bio-Behavioral Sciences from Teachers College at Columbia University in New York, NY.
During graduate school, her training included working at a preschool for children with Autism, a school for the blind, a private practice working with adults with neurogenic disorders and participating in rounds with an inter-disciplinary craniofacial team at Columbia University Medical Center. Rachel traveled to Ghana, West Africa to assess, evaluate and treat underserved populations. These clients included children and adults with communication disorders due to cleft lip and palate, Downs Syndrome and Cerebral Palsy.
Rachel is PROMPT trained (PROMPTS for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets) aimed at remediation for individuals with apraxia and speech production disorders. She is also trained by the SoCal BRIDGE Collaborative's early intervention program for children at risk for social communication and related disorders called Project ImPACT.
