Speech-language pathologists specialize in assessing, diagnosing, and treating people with communication problems that result from disability, surgery, or developmental disorders. They are also instrumental in preventing disorders related to speech, language, cognitive communication, voice, and fluency. This includes both understanding speech and speaking problems. They also evaluate and treat people with swallowing disorders due to stroke, brain injury, or other nervous system impairments.

It’s finally spring time again! I have missed the sun so much this winter! To celebrate spring time and the opening of my new private practice I thought I would introduce myself. So here are seven facts you may not have known about me! 1. I have cerebral palsy and was a very sick child. Luckily my mom fought for me and after years of physical, occupational and yes speech therapy there are very few obvious symptoms that impact my daily life. 2. I am a HUGE sci fyi nerd. One of my all time favorite shows growing up was SG-1. 3. I am practically blind without my contacts. I can’t see anything! I have month long contacts that I can sleep in because waking up and getting to the bathroom to be able to see was giving me bruises. 4. I am absolutely obsessed with traveling! So far I have traveled to Mexico, Canada, Italy, Israel, and then I studied in China for six months. Right now my BF and I are saving up for a trip to go backpacking in Europe. Our itinerary includes Germany, Austria, Sweden and Budapest. 5. My mom is a survivor of a severe traumatic brain injury and this has had an incalculable impact on my life. 6. I have a very needy cat that I believe has PTSD. His name is Smokey and he is SO loving. 7. I have known I wanted to be a SLP since I was 17 and was mentoring a little boy who stuttered as part of my PALS program in HS. So now you know a little more about me! Follow me on FB and Tumblr and I will follow you back! #moodyslp #slp #slpeeps #schoolslp #privatepractice #slpbloggers (at Olympia, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwIxM69BHBUufC9e_E83GRdyJuQqQ9pMeJk2mY0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=44p1j9inoqn7

No shame.... I’m all about simple literature based therapy. We will answer wh questions, target new vocabulary and then describe the scene while targeting FCD in structured conversation. #slp #keepingspeechsimple https://www.instagram.com/p/BvPQYpuhxUedYYqgjQCXXHByZr7ZOkegwLtJG40/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1123onbp4x8u
