Bio
As a speech language pathologist, Nancy Rose Steinbock, M.A., CCC-SLP is an expert in the field of language and literacy disorders. Over 40 years’ experience in the field and engagement with experts in the fields of language development and disorders have developed her expertise in diagnosing and treating spoken and written language skills.
She was fortunate to complete four years of doctoral study at City University of New York, CUNY, when children identified as ‘learning disabled’ were seen to be ‘language disabled.’ Connections between early childhood speech-language development and academic under-achievement were studied across disciplines in the program.
Knowing that prevention is key to mitigating language disorders, Nancy has created numerous programs and strategies to work with teachers and students who are at risk for developing these disorders. Focusing on bilingual language acquisition and interventionist methods, she founded Inglese Dinamico, an innovative bilingual education project in Venice, Italy, where she provided extensive teacher-training in speech and language development and disorders for nearly 15 years. Her ’intervention methodology’ for EL teaching has been carried over into her EL teaching for adults in her practice located on Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts.
Currently, Nancy is committed to promoting language competency and literacy for all learners through her on-island work as both an interventionist and activist in identifying and treating speech and language difficulties from preschool through adulthood. She is a passionate believer in the potential of all children and learners.
"I wish to tell you about the wonderful experience we have had with Nancy. She has been working with my 13 year old son for a year. My son was resistant in the beginning, but Nancy is so knowledgeable in so many areas that she was able to keep my son motivated to work with her through the pandemic. She has provided encouragement and confidence in my son's ability to learn. She has faith in my son's inner strength and she is providing him with the intervention he needs in order to move beyond his vulnerabilities. Others tried to help my son, but there seemed to be a low level of expectation to push him to realize his full potential. He continues to make progress with every week they work together. We are so happy with his confidence in his communication skills and his reading and writing."
