Nick Philpott
Speech-Language Pathologist

Nick holds his Bachelors in Fine Arts with a specialization in playwriting from Ohio University. He worked for several years in behavioral health as a Registered Behavioral Technician before returning to Brooklyn College to earn his M.S. in Speech-Language Pathology. Nick completed his clinical training in a variety of environments, including Erasmus High School in Brooklyn, NY; the Manhattan VA Center Speech-Language Pathology department; and a clinical fellowship in outpatient rehabilitation in Fairview, NJ. Currently, Nick is the head of the speech-language pathology department in the multiple disabilities classrooms at the Warren County Educational Service Center at Western Row, an evaluator for the Springer Diagnostic Center, and a tutor through Springer’s tutoring department.

In his role, Nick aims to provide therapy and diagnostic services that allow his students to engage in the classroom as well as the outside community, increasing their ability to convey their wants, needs, and ideas to others independently. His objective is to paint a complete picture of each communicator or student in order to express how they input and output language units. Beyond achieving goals in the therapy room, Nick advocates for access to AAC, for self-determination of a communicator, and for the rights and dignities that we are all entitled to as communicators. His approach to therapy is dynamic and responsive to the learner at the desk in front of him; accommodations are individualized and effectiveness is measured throughout. Nick is dedicated to providing thorough, insightful communication evaluations to families and learners in order to increase their success in the educational environment by knowledge of their own strengths and weaknesses.

Nick plays the guitar, video games, and writes and reads voraciously. He is a Reds fan, no matter how difficult that may be at a given point in the season, and he lives in Cincinnati with his wife, his son, and his senior ChiPoo.
