founder’s bio

Lauren Zimet, M.S.,CCC/SLP works with children with varying diagnoses and consults with families on speech, language and early communication issues.  She also consults with new and soon-to-be-new parents on the many issues of raising a newborn. Her practice includes private consultations, group workshops, classes and seminars.

After receiving her Masters in Speech Language Pathology in 1995, Lauren worked in hospitals, rehabilitation clinics, and preschool and early intervention programs in New York and New Jersey. In 2001 Lauren relocated to the Atlanta area and established a private practice, Early Insights, LLC.

Desiring to work with children from a more integrative approach, Lauren sought her degree in Neurodevelopmental Training (NDT), June 1998, under the direction of Monica Wojick, M.S., CCC/SLP and Suzanne Davis, PT. The NDT framework, encourages the therapist to work with the whole person - looking beyond the surface challenges to the neurological basis. NDT is a treatment perspective, which uses diagonal movement patterns, gradation of input and facilitation or inhibition of movement to improve independent performance of a task.

Lauren's approach is holistic in nature. Inspired by her young daughter, Lauren is continuing her education in the field of health, wellness, and nutrition.

Lauren received her Bachelor of Science degree in Communications at the University of Maryland in College Park, MD, and her Master's Degree in Speech Language Pathology from Nova Southeastern University, Ft. Lauderdale, FL in 1995. She participates in numerous continuing education programs.

Lauren's work has been featured in: The LCP Solution by Dr. Jacqueline Stordy and Malcolm Nicholl, Baby Love by Sheila Ellison, and The Late Talker, by Dr. Marilyn Agin and Lisa Geng.
