Welcome to The Language Literacy Doctor!
Connecting the dots between speech, reading, and writing.
Cindy Conca, EdD., CCC-SLP
Owner, Speech-Language Pathologist
Reading & Dyslexia Specialist
I am a speech-language pathologist with 36 years of clinical experience and a doctorate in Speech-Language Pathology & Reading Education. On my journey to becoming a reading and writing specialist, I have trained in a variety of research-based programs such as Orton-Gillingham, Reading with TLC, Brain Frames, EmPOWER for Writing, and Unlocking Sentences (Vivido Learning). I use elements of each program to help my clients reach their full potential.
As The Language Literacy Doctor, I holistically support speech, language, and literacy development for children of all ages. Whether a child struggles with making speech sounds, spelling words, or understanding what they read at school, I can offer strategies and tools to help them succeed.

Interested in scheduling an appointment? Here’s the process.
Step 1
Free Phone Consultation.
Reach out to learn more about my services, discuss your concerns, and determine whether we are a good fit. We will also schedule a time to meet.
Step 2
Comprehensive Evaluation.
During our first sessions, I will complete a thorough evaluation and review of records. This process will give me a good picture of you or your child's skills and allow me to make an accurate diagnosis.
