Meet Allison Long

Welcome!

I am a licensed speech therapist in New York with certification from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). My professional journey began at the University of Wyoming, where I graduated with a master’s degree in Speech Language Pathology and two bachelor degrees in Communication Disorders and Spanish. With a decade of experience, I have provided tailored speech therapy services to individuals aged 3-18, addressing a range of diagnoses including autism, childhood apraxia of speech, receptive and expressive language disorders, and genetic conditions across educational, clinical, and home settings.

My approach to speech therapy is characterized by a naturalistic and child-centered methodology, prioritizing genuine connection and authentic communication. I believe strongly in the value of teamwork and collaboration.

Specializing in Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), I bring extensive proficiency with PRC, Assistiveware, and Tobii Dynavox products. I am also trained in several childhood apraxia of speech programs, including PROMPT (Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets) therapy and DTTC (Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing).

Certifications and Programs:

  • Language Acquisition through Motor Planning™ (LAMP™) certified clinician

Parent testimonials

  • I am forever indebted to Allie for the transformative impact she has had on my son's communication journey. When we first met her, my son was a non-speaking communicator, relying solely on limited AAC usage, gestures and minimal approximations. He has progressed from simple gestures to verbalizing 1-7 word utterances and confidently utilizing his AAC device as an aid when needed. Allie not only celebrates his milestones but also continues to challenge him to reach new heights. She is not just a speech pathologist but a beacon of hope and empowerment for families like ours. — Cassie, Parent of J

  • I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding dedication and expertise displayed by my son's speech therapist, Allison Long, over the past four years. Her unwavering commitment to his development has been nothing short of remarkable. Through her skillful teaching, she not only imparted invaluable new skills to my son but also discovered a personalized approach that truly resonated with him. Her passion for her work is evident in every session, creating an environment where my son felt supported and encouraged to flourish. Her genuine love for her clients is palpable, and it has undoubtedly played a pivotal role in my son's progress. I can't express enough gratitude for the positive impact Allison has had on his journey.—Maria, Parent of D

  • Our son loved seeing Allie for speech therapy. She has the rare combination of expertise, creativity and dedication that make every session meaningful and productive. It was heartwarming to see their connection and to witness the gains J made during their time together. We’ll be forever grateful for how much his communication improved! — Cheryl, Parent of J
