Katie Reily 

- Transdisciplinary Therapeutic Education 
- Speech Language Pathology
- Pre K - Grade 12 Assessments 

Katie brings 27 years of clinical experience to her work with children of all ages with developmental delays.

Katie specializes in the following areas:
• Receptive/expressive language delays
• Language-based learning challenges including literacy
• Social communication disorders
• Sensory processing issues
​* Anxiety
• Behavioral challenges at home and school

Everything begins at the level of the body.
Katie integrates movement into all her work with students. Movement and music catalyze learning, making it "stick." It's more fun for the children and helps mature underdeveloped areas of the nervous system.

All healing comes out of relationship.
Katie works with fewer children and their teachers and families over a longer period of time, slowly building a trust that gets them through the hard times.

 Service Delivery Model
Most therapy is done in Katie's home clinic which is in a low tech house surrounded by woods and a big vegetable garden!

Diet & Learning

Quick Facts:
• Sugar compromises thinking.  Omega 3s protect learning and Memory.

• The importance of a high protein diet and elimination of some foods increase focus, as reported from Ned Hallowell's Treatment Center for ADHD in Massachusetts.

• Eating foods close to their natural form such as fermented foods, cultured foods, and living foods in general, help maintain a healthy gut ecology. This in turn helps keep the mind sharp, the emotions balanced and stamina strong.
