About Cathy
Cathy has always enjoyed working with children. Cathy states, “I fell in love with language and having children find their voice. I became interested in listening and language when I was in the school setting and was offered a classroom that was nothing but children with Augmentative Communication Devices.” Cathy has earned a certification of Listening and Spoken Language Specialist which includes coaching parents of children with hearing loss, that blossomed into coaching parents of children with disabilities.
About Katie
Katie knew she wanted to pursue a career dedicated to helping people. When she was in high school a family friend was entering the profession, which allowed her to have insight to speech pathology and everything that SLPs can do. She felt that a career as an SLP would be fulfilling by allowing her to help individuals of all ages with speech, language, and feeding difficulties.

Proven Speech Therapy Strategies
Our 4 Step Process to Overcoming Speech Impediments
STEP 1: Evaluation
During our initial appointment with your child we take the time to thoroughly evaluate their levels of speech and language. The results of the state approved comprehensive testing is tabulated and compared to the standards of speech for children your child’s age. We can perform our evaluation of your child in English or in Spanish depending on your child’s dominant language.
STEP 2: Diagnosis
Based on your child’s results during the comprehensive testing, our certified Speech Therapists diagnose your child’s speech and language condition. After the evaluation, the Speech Pathologist will share the diagnosis with you and answer all your questions regarding the treatment of your child’s condition.
STEP 3: Individualized Goals
Once the Speech Therapist has evaluated your child and has determined the diagnosis, a thorough report is prepared with all the Therapist’s findings and a plan of care is developed specifically for your child. This plan of care is sent to your child’s pediatrician for his/her review and approval.
STEP 4: Treatment
Depending upon your child’s severity and their individualized plan of care, your child may require an hour of therapy once or twice a week for three to six months. This therapy can be provided in English or in Spanish depending on your child’s dominant language. At the end of the period, your child is re-evaluated to determine progress and the therapy cycle begins again. This process continues until your child’s testing indicates that they no longer need Speech Therapy.

Methods of Payment
What are my payment options?
Paying for speech therapy that can last for many months may be a challenge for your family. Not addressing your child’s speech needs now may have lasting effects on your child’s future. As postponing speech therapy is not beneficial to your child, we offer you several options to pay for services.
