MA CCC-SLP, CDP
Jeanne Tighe, M.A., CCC-SLP, is the owner and Clinical Director of Beyond Communication, LLC, a private practice serving individuals with communication and learning needs. Early professional work as a Teacher of the Deaf exposed Ms. Tighe to the practice of intensive auditory training, a skill set that provided a unique and invaluable foundation for her eventual transition to specialization in the language-literacy connection. Driven by an intense interest in the phonological foundations of oral and written language, Ms. Tighe obtained credentialing by the International Dyslexia Association as a Certified Dyslexia Practitioner. Her current work focuses on integration of language and literacy interventions, and she is frequently invited to speak to parent and professional groups on these topics. Over the past ten years, Ms. Tighe has built an interdisciplinary practice that now includes a dozen professionals committed to using evidence-based practices to advance communication skills and academic achievement for all learners. Ms. Tighe currently serves on the Board of Directors of the New Jersey Branch of the International Dyslexia Association.
