INDIVIDUALIZED PEDIATRIC SPEECH AND LANGUAGE THERAPY IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR HOME
Shine Bright Speech Therapy was founded by Alyson Paventa, M.S., CCC-SLP, a New Jersey-licensed and ASHA-certified speech-language pathologist specializing in pediatric speech and language therapy.
Alyson provides individualized, in-home speech and language therapy to children throughout Bergen County. By providing therapy in a child’s familiar environment, she is able to incorporate each child’s interests and everyday routines into treatment while encouraging family involvement and carryover at home.
Alyson believes that therapy is most effective when children feel comfortable, engaged, and understood. She takes a collaborative approach, working closely with families to develop meaningful goals and incorporate speech and language skills into everyday activities.
Alyson earned her Bachelor of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Penn State University and her Master of Science in Communication Disorders from William Paterson University. She holds her Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).
With more than 10 years of experience, Alyson has evaluated and treated children with a variety of speech and language needs, including articulation and phonological disorders, receptive and expressive language disorders, and pragmatic (social) language difficulties. She has experience working with children with diagnoses including Autism Spectrum Disorder and Childhood Apraxia of Speech.
Alyson also has experience with Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and is trained in PROMPT Level 1 and PECS Level 1.
She provides in-home services throughout Bergen County, including Glen Rock, Ridgewood, Fair Lawn, Paramus, Wyckoff, Waldwick, Midland Park, Hawthorne, and surrounding towns.

Shine Bright Speech Therapy is an out-of-network provider and does not bill insurance directly. After each session, we can provide you with a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
A superbill includes information such as the date of service, fees paid, and applicable diagnosis and treatment codes. Coverage and reimbursement vary by insurance plan, so we recommend contacting your insurance provider to learn more about your out-of-network benefits. Please note that submitting a superbill does not guarantee reimbursement for services.
