Welcome
Revolutionizing Education Through Evidence-Based Practices
Unlocking the potential of every student through cutting-edge diagnostics and intervention services.
Communication Connection
Hi, I'm Morgan Lipton, MA-CCC-SLP. I'm a Speech-Language Pathologist who specializes in language-based learning disabilities, including dyslexia, dysgraphia, and developmental language disorders. I provide comprehensive assessments and individualized intervention services for reading, oral, and written language development.
I grew up in Chicago and was a struggling reader. I remember vividly checking out chapter books with beautiful covers and knowing that I could not read the book independently and desperately hoping that I would not be called upon to read aloud in class.
I earned my master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology from CU-Boulder in 2008, establishing a strong focus in language-based learning disabilities, including dyslexia and dysgraphia. I have worked in the public school, private practice, and university clinic settings as a clinical trainer of graduate-level students.
Helping others learn to read is my greatest passion.

testimonials
Lauren, mom of a 10-year-old daughter with dysgraphia
Morgan was an absolutely delight to work with. After years of not getting answers for our daughter, we reached out to Morgan for help. Throughout the testing process she was detailed and thorough and educated us along the way in what she was seeing. We finally got a diagnosis for our daughter and now have the tools and resources we need to help make school easier for her! Thank you, Morgan!
Jennifer, mom of an 8-year-old son with dyslexia and developmental language disorder (DLD)
Morgan's knowledge and expertise were essential for clearly identifying and communicating my child's support needs. She was an integral member of my child's IEP team to ensure appropriate goals and accommodations were made.
Kelly, mom of a 12-year-old daughter with developmental language disorder (DLD)
Morgan recently tested our daughter and educated us about oral language, having diagnosed our daughter with DLD. Our daughter had struggled with reading comprehension for years but until seeing Morgan, we never knew why. Morgan was very thorough in her evaluation and reached out multiple times to make sure she had a clear picture of our daughter’s challenges and struggles. The report she wrote to the school was very detailed and will be helpful in obtaining the right accommodations to support our daughter in school. Morgan is extremely knowledgeable in her field. I would highly recommend her if you’re in need of an SLP.
Alisha, mom of a 10-year-old daughter with developmental language disorder (DLD) and dyslexia
Morgan has an incredibly calming and wise persona, which was a gift when navigating the initial questions and doubts surrounding our daughter’s diagnosis of dyslexia. Morgan helped our daughter begin to build tools for decoding and understanding words, but more importantly believed in her and kept assuring us she would be okay.
Megan, mother of a 12-year-old son with dyslexia
Morgan from the very start was personable, knowledgeable, intelligent, and very attentive with my son. Morgan’s personality was very inviting, and she and my son quickly established a rapport which allowed him to be relaxed and calm during his assessments. Morgan did an extensive evaluation and was able to explain the results in an effective and easy to understand manner. She takes her time to ensure that both parent(s) and child understand the results and suggested next steps. I would highly recommend her!
Christa, mother of a 14-year-old daughter with dyslexia
Morgan's thoughtfulness and knowledge is evident in everything from her email responses (she answered my many questions via email with kindness and clarity) to the space she creates for testing and evaluations (she made a calm and gentle space for my anxious 14-year-old daughter.) Meeting one-on-one with Morgan post-test was invaluable to walk through the results, learn more about my daughter and feel empowered to talk with schools to get the best tools to assist my child. I am grateful to have chosen to work with Morgan for this piece of my child's academic journey.
Scot, father of a 10-year-old son with dyslexia
Morgan was incredibly helpful in the testing for our son's dyslexia and helping us understand where he was struggling. We were able to use those testing results to get an IEP at our school for our son.
Graduate Student supervised by Morgan at CU-Boulder
Morgan is a clinical faculty rock star! I had so much fun in this placement. She's funny, she's brilliant, and she's welcoming...While I had pre-grad school interest in Dyslexia and learning disabilities, I had no interest in Dyslexia Diagnostics coming into this practicum, but Morgan has me second guessing that.
