Welcome to Early & Bright!
Our mission is to create a professional community and educational resources aligned with a play-based, whole-child approach to supporting communication skills and early development.
Hi! I'm Laura Brown. I'm a pediatric speech pathologist, early intervention specialist, and mom of two little boys. I believe in a holistic approach to early language development that includes movement, play, and social-emotional support. It is so important to focus on the whole child in these early years which are a sensitive period for brain development.
​
I have been working with young children for 15 years and I absolutely love supporting young children and their families to help them grow their communication skills. I practice a relationship-based approach to therapy that prioritizes joyful, child-led interactions and focuses on connection over compliance.
My second love is connecting with other professionals who share my passion for early development and supporting communication skills. Early & Bright offers a free resource library for professionals and several online professional development courses for Pediatric SLPs including The First 50 Words Course for SLPs, Speech Sound Disorders in Early Intervention, AAC in Early Intervention, The Daily Routines Course for SLPs, and the Confidently Co-Regulating Course coming in fall 2024.
