About me
Anna Dvortcsak, a licensed speech and language pathologist, specializes in parent-mediated intervention for children with autism spectrum disorders. In 2004, Ms. Dvortcsak founded Dvortcsak Speech and Language Services (DSLSI) which provides individual and group training to families with children with autism and related disorders, individualized speech and language services, and training to professionals working with children with autism and related disorders. Anna consults with school districts, private practices, and hospitals to train staff to use naturalistic treatment strategies to enhance children’s engagement, imitation, language, and play skills and to use parent-mediated interventions. Anna’s areas of focus are program development and improving access to services to help all children be able to communicate and advocate for themselves within their home and community environment. Anna co-developed and authored Teaching Social Communication to Children with Autism (Project ImPACT), an internationally recognized parent training curriculum for children with social communication challenges.
