About Me
I have been a speech therapist for over 20 years. During this time I have focused my practice on children with a broad range of developmental disabilities and learning/ communication issues. As a result, I have experience with a number of disorders and have had the opportunity to develop my professional knowledge through a number of programs. I earned my bachlelor's and master's degrees in speech pathology from Valdosta State University. In addition, I am licensed to practice as a speech therapist in Georgia, Florida and Illinois. I am also a nationally certified speech therapist and a member of the American Speech and Hearing Association.
