Passionate about giving children a healthy start in life, Lauren Zimet, M.S.,CCC/SLP is a Speech Language Pathologist with more than 15 years of professional experience. She is the founder and executive director of the Healthy Foundations Program, a brain health education program based in Georgia.

A speaker and educator, she provides speech and feeding therapy and facilitates social thinking groups for children of all abilities. Lauren teaches children about their “inner toolbox” supporting life skills. Utilizing the concepts in nurturing her own daughter, she gained valuable insight into the processes that enable children to develop and flourish.

Lauren believes when children are empowered, they discover they can do miraculous things. When parents are empowered they can make positive changes to support and nurture their children. Empowering families to make small changes, to slow down…to live and be in the present is at the core of her work.

In 2007, Lauren was part of the first pediatric health care mission to Moldova, where she provided in-service training to medical professionals and consulted with families in need. Over the years, her work has been cited in several books such as The LCP Solution by Dr. Jacqueline Stordy and Malcolm Nicholl, The Late Talker by Dr. Marilyn Agin and Lisa Geng, and magazines such as Parenting, Advance, Common Ground and The Autism Files.

Lauderdale, Florida and her Bachelor of Science in Communications from the University of Maryland in College Park, MD.
