About

Kelsey Brown is a neurodiversity-affirming, ASHA-certified speech-language pathologist who specializes in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), gestalt language processing (GLP), and early language development. ​

Kelsey completed her Master's degree in Communication Disorders at Emerson College, where her interests included augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), medically complex children and youth, and early intervention. Kelsey’s experience includes working with and learning from the folks at Easter Seals DMV, St. Coletta of Greater Washington, Fayette County Public Schools, Boston Children's Hospital, the Access Champions podcast, Imagination Stage, Soaring Starts Early Learning & Arts, and Camp Twin Lakes. Kelsey uses her theatre and teaching artist background to help to inspire fun and motivating client-centered sessions.

Kelsey completed the Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (LEND) program at Georgetown University, where her interdisciplinary team project on sexual education for individuals with disabilities was awarded a ribbon for excellence. Kelsey has also demonstrated mastery in working with children who communicate with delayed echolalia (scripting) by completing the Meaningful Speech course and exam in gestalt language processing and the Natural Language Acquisition (NLA) framework. She has presented at the Assistive Technology Industry Association (ATIA) conference and provided clinic-, school-, and daycare-based trainings.

Her time at Imagination Stage inspired Kelsey to write a children's book, which was released in May 2019. "Come On, Calm!" is a whimsical picture book encouraging readers of all abilities to self-regulate through sensory and breathing tasks.
