About Frani Rosoff, MS, CCC-SLP

Frani is passionate about helping people achieve their goals in order to lead happier and more independent and fulfilling lives.

Frani Rosoff has over 32 years of experience working with patients with a variety of neurological impairments. Some of these diagnoses include stroke, traumatic brain injury, brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease, among other complex neurological disorders.  She specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of cognition, communication and swallowing. Frani served patients, as a speech therapist, at Inova Mount Vernon Hospital (IMVH) for 31 years both in adult rehabilitation and acute care. In addition to providing speech therapy, she served on the Stroke Committee and helped IMVH achieve its status as a Stroke Certified Center. She gave numerous lectures/presentations on several topics, including Stroke, Traumatic Brain Injury, Executive Functions, and Swallowing, just to name a few. Frani is most proud to say that she was the first to bring Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) to the DMV, then going on to help many other hospitals across the nation to establish their own FEES programs.  In addition to being FEES certified, Frani also earned her MBSImp Certificate for Videofluroscopy Swallow Evaluations (VFSS). Both of these evaluations are gold standards in evaluating swallowing.

Frani earned her Master’s Degree in Speech-Language Pathology at James Madison University and her Bachelor of Science Degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Radford University, both with honors. She is also licensed by the Commonwealth of Virginia and is certified by the American Speech-Language Hearing Association with her Certificate of Clinical Competence.

Frani is passionate about providing custom individualized care to those people seeking increased independence in their lives. She is committed to collaborating with clients and their families in goal setting, planning and executing ways to achieve goals through compassionate life coaching.

In her spare time, Frani loves to cook, travel and read. She especially loves spending time with her husband, family and friends, including her two grown sons!
