Introduction:

My name is Paige Giglio and I am a licenced and certified and licensed Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) who is committed to providing personalized and effective therapeutic services to individuals 3-18 years of age in Potsdam, NY. With a passion for helping others unlock their full communication potential, I offer a range of services tailored to address speech, language, and communication challenges. My approach combines evidence-based techniques with a compassionate and client-centered focus, ensuring that each individual receives the specialized support they need to thrive. Whether you or your loved one is navigating developmental milestones, or managing a communication disorder, I am here to guide you on the path to improved communication and overall well-being.

About Me:

I graduated from SUNY Plattsburgh in 2018 with a Bachelor’s degree in Communication Disorders and Sciences, followed by a Master of Arts in Speech-Language Pathology in 2020, also from SUNY Plattsburgh. Throughout my master’s program, I gained valuable clinical experience through placements at several esteemed institutions, including Easter Suffolk BOCES in Westhampton Beach, NY; United Helpers in Ogdensburg, NY; Champlain Valley Physician's Hospital (CVPH) in Plattsburgh, NY; and the CVPH Fitness and Wellness Outpatient Center in Plattsburgh, NY.

Since July 2020, I have been employed as a full-time school-based Speech-Language Pathologist at Potsdam Central School District. My professional experience primarily involves working with children facing speech and language challenges, which is why I have chosen to offer private services to this population. I established my private practice to enhance access to private speech therapy services in the North Country, aiming to support families in need.

Mission Statement:

Above all, my mission is to provide a positive difference in the lives of my clients, empowering them to communicate with confidence and competence.
