About NeuroGrove

NeuroGrove Speech was founded by Christine Scalise, a neurodivergent Speech-Language Pathologist, with a mission to create a space where individuals of all ages can learn, grow, and thrive. Christine's personal experience with neurodivergence inspires her approach, emphasizing authentic communication, confidence, and individualized support.

Christine earned her Bachelor of Arts in Communicative Sciences and Disorders, with a minor in American Sign Language and Deaf Studies, from the University of Central Florida, and her Master of Science in Communicative Sciences and Disorders from California State University, Northridge.

Her clinical experience spans children, adolescents, and adults across a variety of settings, including Pediatric Prescribed Extended Care (PPEC) centers, public schools, skilled nursing and assisted living facilities, home health, outpatient neurorehabilitation, and private practice throughout Florida, Nebraska, Iowa, California, and Texas. She has extensive experience supporting individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI), concussion, stroke, cognitive-communication challenges, neurodivergence, language disorders, and social communication differences.

Christine is passionate about helping individuals develop meaningful, functional strategies that support communication, cognition, and participation in everyday life. Whether the goal is returning to work or school, navigating conversations with greater confidence, improving executive functioning, or strengthening self-advocacy skills, therapy is always individualized to the person's unique strengths, priorities, and goals.

Christine views neurodiversity as a natural part of human diversity to be understood and respected. She believes therapy should be collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to each individual, empowering clients and their families to build confidence, meaningful connections, and lasting communication skills.
