My name is Lisa Levine Sporer and I am a fully licensed and certified Speech Language Pathologist and sole proprietor, owner and operator of my private practice. All services are performed by myself.
I have dedicated my practice to neurologic rehabilitation, meaning I am skilled in the areas surrounding brain injury that affect a person’s ability to effectively communicate, who may have cognitive impairments, and who may have difficulty swallowing. I do not work with childhood language development, as these proficiencies do not overlap.
I treat people who have had strokes and who have aphasia or dysarthria; I treat people who have had traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and who have communication and cognitive disorders; I treat people who have an array of other neurologic diseases such as Parkinson’s Disease or early stage Alzheimer’s Disease/Dementia which impact one’s ability to speak and think.
I provide home-based, work-based, or community-based, functional therapy. I do not have an office, I come to you. This differentiates my scope of practice; focused on participation in life in whatever stage the patient may be. I truly believe that continuing with speech and language therapy for an extended period of time allows a person the opportunity to improve the quality of her or his life.
I have relocated to San Rafael in Marin County after having worked for over 20 years supporting clients around Stanford Medical Center in the South Bay and Peninsula areas.
