Lori Sova, MS, CCC-SLP

Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist | 40+ Years of Clinical Experience

I’m Lori Sova, and for over four decades, I have been dedicated to helping individuals across the lifespan find their unique voice. My practice, 1,2,3 Speak to ME!, is built on a strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach where I honor each individual's profile, interests, and natural ways of learning. With forty years of clinical experience, I offer a seasoned, evidence-based perspective on communication needs ranging from early childhood development to adult neuro-affirming support.

I believe communication is a fundamental human right, and there is no "one-size-fits-all" path to connection. I am proud to be licensed in Maryland, Connecticut, and California, offering specialized Telehealth services to ensure high-quality, person-centered care is accessible regardless of location.

Embracing All Ways to Communicate

Effective communication is about more than just speech; it is about being heard and understood. I am a strong advocate for Total Communication, supporting all methods—including verbal speech, gestures, and augmentative technology—to ensure every individual can express themselves fully. I excel at creating person-centered toolkits that cater to the specific needs of each client, making communication functional and meaningful in their daily life—whether that is a child using their first speech-generating device or an adult fine-tuning their self-advocacy tools.

Expertise at Every Stage

• Pediatrics: Specialized motor-speech support for Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) using evidence-based protocols like P.R.O.M.P.T. and DTTC.

• Adolescents & Adults: Neuro-affirming support for social communication, fluency, and cognitive-linguistic goals designed for real-world success.

• Communication Technology: Expert implementation of AAC and Speech-Generating Devices (SGD) for users of all ages.

A Collaborative, Real-World Approach

Therapy is most effective when it is individualized and person-led. I partner closely with families and individuals to ensure that the progress we make during our sessions translates into real-world communication across home, school, workplace, and community environments. Together, we build a supportive environment where every individual feels empowered to share their thoughts and ideas with the world.
