Hello
I am Diane Lewis, MA, CCC-SLP and provide the full scope of pediatric Speech-Language Therapy located adjacent to downtown Bethesda, Maryland. I have been a dedicated member of the local therapy community for almost 50 years and am eager to share my wisdom and care with your family.
It is my mission to provide state-of-the-art diagnostic, therapy, and consultative speech-language services where each child’s individual differences, unique gifts and challenges are taken into account so the child makes the best progress possible. I specialize in working with children from birth through adolescence and have expertise in providing therapy to children with a wide range of developmental delays including autism spectrum, cognitive delays, a variety of syndromes, cerebral palsy, learning disabilities, attention deficit/hyperactivity, executive function, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and, seizure disorders.
