Elizabeth Galante

Hi! My name is Elizabeth Galante. I graduated from Pennsylvania State University in 2020 with a Bachelor of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders. I am currently a second-year graduate student at Seton Hall University receiving my masters in Speech-Language Pathology. In my free time I enjoy reading, drawing, cooking, and spending time with my family and friends.

This past June I completed my first clinical internship at Barclay Brook elementary school in Monroe, New Jersey. There I worked with, treated, and assessed students who have apraxia, ADHD, ASD, articulation, and expressive and receptive language disorders from ages 3 to 10 years old.

During my time at The Lewis School of Princeton I am looking forward to utilizing and expanding my current knowledge and skills in such a prestigious Speech-language pathology and educational setting. My goal is to develop positive and motivating rapport with staff and students while delivering unique, individualized, and targeted therapy for all students to improve academic success and self-esteem.​

Amy Napoli

My name is Amy Napoli, and I am so excited to become a staff member at The Lewis School! I spent the summer of 2021 as the clinical speech extern working with the students, and was absolutely thrilled to be asked back as a full time Speech/Language Pathologist in January 2022.

I am an alumna of The College of New Jersey, where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a specialization in cognitive psychology, as well as a minor in Communication Disorders. I graduated from Montclair State University in January 2022, where I received my Master’s in Speech-Language Pathology.

I have learned so much in my short time at The Lewis School, and have grown to love the atmosphere, the students, and the staff. I am eager to continue evolving as an SLP, and watching your children grow into scholars and productive young people.

When I am not doing schoolwork or treating clients in the clinic, I love to travel and hike. I am an avid reader and sports fan, and I love to be outside. I have always enjoyed spending time with children, and I feel as though we can learn just as much from them as they can from us.

“At The Lewis School, I am looking forward to learning from the students and becoming a better, more knowledgeable, empathetic, and creative clinician. I am excited to continue my work at Lewis!”
