Words and Wonder פלה פה
About Nomi Kaston
Language has enchanted me all my life. I graduated with a Master of Science degree in Speech Language Pathology from McGill University in 1975. Since then, every child, teen or adult I have worked with has been a source of wonder for me. I am now living in Netanya, a beach town just north of Tel Aviv in Israel, and have opened an office and a bright playroom filled with toys and games. I also travel to the homes of my clients, to work in the very locations where they need to communicate. I have had the wonderful privilege to work with the staff of Meir Autism, Israel's branch of the SonRise program for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. I provide therapy in the areas of articulation, apraxia, language delay, autism spectrum disorders, stuttering, learning disabilities, auditory processing disorders, voice disorders, accent reduction, and public speaking skills. I use sign language, augmentative and alternative communication systems, and visual picture symbols to supplement speech. Music and play are a major part of my program, and I keep in mind always that growth happens when we are having fun, and love what we are doing.
