Founder & Speech-Language Pathologist

Taylor D’Aries M.S. CCC-SLP / TSSLD

Taylor D’Aries M.S. CCC-SLP/TSSLD received her Master’s degree in Communication Science from CUNY Hunter in 2011. Taylor followed her academic passion for the neuroscience of communication to NYU Langone Medical Center, where she worked with children recovering from strokes and brain injuries. In 2014 Taylor moved to New Delhi, India to become a live-in, full-time speech therapist for a 24 year-old traumatic brain injury survivor and her family. After recognizing the high need for skilled speech-language intervention within the Delhi community, Taylor began a private practice, which serviced local Indian families and the children of expats from around the globe living in Delhi. Before returning to New York City in 2018, Taylor co-founded one of India’s first Early Intervention Centers, which aimed to educate the parent and medical community about the importance of starting therapy early in a child’s life.

Back in New York, Taylor dove into private practice and graduate level clinical instruction at Columbia University’s Teacher’s College. While readjusting to life back in the U.S., Taylor continued to deepen and diversify her clinical skill set. During this time she developed the framework for Brooklyn Speech Therapy: A private practice that integrates the neuroscience and team-work from her hospital days, with the unconventional, home-based care of her work in India. Since 2020, Taylor and Brooklyn Speech Therapy have created a space that empowers young communicators and their families through joyful learning experiences in the comfort of their homes. Today, Brooklyn Speech Therapy is a growing group of collaborative speech therapists who share the values of: cultural fluency, creative intervention, and care that integrates into everyday family life.
