Welcome to Shores Speech & Language!
I am Michele Biggerstaff, M.A., CCC-SLP, the owner of Shores Speech & Language and a Speech-Language Pathologist
I am a mother to 3 children and have been practicing Speech Language Pathology for over 10 years. I founded Shores Speech & Language with my belief that children deserve the highest quality services in both the school and outpatient settings. Shores Speech & Language is a company dedicated to supporting families, schools, and the community in helping children to reach their full potential.
With over 10 years experience working in the schools I have become skilled in creating effective, individualized solutions for all learners and supporting educators. I am a passionate learner with additional trainings in several areas including autism, sensory and executive functioning support, stuttering, speech sound disorders, and literacy based language and dyslexia interventions. I hold a certificate of mastery in LETRS (Language Essentials for Teaching Reading and Spelling, a 2 year comprehensive literacy and language course accredited by the International Dyslexia Association.
At Shores Speech & Language we evaluate and treat children with speech and language disabilities, dyslexia, autism, and ADHD by combining evidence based approaches, children’s interests, compassion and empathy. We believe that therapy should support a child’s academic and communication needs as well as their emotional well-being and self-confidence.
