COVID-19 Virtual Learning & Teletherapy

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Robin's Key is providing all speech and language therapy, reading and writing intervention, executive functioning coaching, and social skills groups via virtual teletherapy.
Virtual services are available for families in IL and CA.

Who I am

My name is Lisa Gresch, and I am a speech-language pathologist and learning specialist. I work with clients ages 3-22, providing diagnostic and intervention services for speech and language disorders, learning disorders/differences, social skills, and executive functioning. I also provide academic coaching to help students develop the skills and strategies they need to learn. In other words, I help kids, teens, and young adults "learn how to learn" and become effective communicators.

I have a clinical and research background in evidence-based interventions for speech, language, and social communication disorders as well as learning disabilities. I specialize in working with clients who have co-occurring language/learning disabilities and emotional/behavioral challenges. Many of my clients carry diagnoses of ADHD, autism, dyslexia, reading and writing disorders, executive function disorder, nonverbal learning disabilities, social communication disorder, social anxiety, or are gifted/twice-exceptional (2e).

My Approach

My clinical approach is collaborative, client-centered, and relationship-based. I pull from a variety of evidence-based teaching strategies and intervention programs to develop a treatment plan that is uniquely designed for each client and family with whom I work. I do not believe in "one-size fits all" approaches to teaching, and my goal is to make learning fun! I am also a strong proponent of neurodiversity.

Many of the children, teens, and young adults with whom I work have "fallen through the cracks" time and time again and have not received the support they need to meet academic expectations and develop social relationships. I guide each client to recognize and understand their strengths and challenges so that they can find their unique voice and unlock their potential as a learner and communicator. For younger clients, I also provide support to parents as they help their child grow and learn. I value collaborating with families and other professionals who work with my clients to ensure we support the needs of the whole person.

Language Therapy

Assessment and intervention for receptive and expressive language, including support for vocabulary, grammar, word finding, following directions, narrative language, inferencing, and expressing thoughts and feelings with words.

Executive Function Coaching

Support for students who have difficulty with task initiation, time management, planning and organizing, working memory, processing, self-regulation, attention, flexibility, persistence, and/or problem solving. Sessions can be geared towards developing skills for virtual learning.

Reading and Writing Support

Assessment and intervention for individuals struggling in school, including support for students with dyslexia and other reading and writing challenges. I have particular expertise working with students who experience anxiety or avoidance when asked to read or write.

Social Skills Support

Assessment and therapy for kids and teens who need help navigating social relationships, adapting to dynamic environments, and understanding others' thoughts, feelings, and perspectives. My approach is based in Social Thinking and often incorporates acceptance and mindfulness strategies and a little fun with improv theatre!

Speech Therapy

Assessment and intervention for articulation and phonological disorders and childhood apraxia of speech. I specialize in working with individuals with single sound or residual articulation disorders who may not be eligible for school-based services (e.g., s, r, l).

Academic Wellness

Individual and group therapy for students looking for academic support as they cope with the stress of school. These services are especially geared towards clients who have ADHD and/or mental health challenges. Sessions can be geared towards developing skills for virtual learning.
