Business Owner

As a speech therapist, my goal is to pay it forward by helping other families unlock their child’s full learning potential. I feel that every child is capable of learning and I accomplish this by being sensitive to their diverse learning styles. Parent involvement and education is another key to success so you will be an integral part of the therapy process.
