Believing that everybody has a voice, she has worked very closely with autism and AAC on building necessary language skills. She loves creating new materials that are specific to each child.

Also, one of her core beliefs is the importance of providing culturally and linguistically diverse services that are tailored to the client.

Speech-language pathology is a field of expertise practiced by a clinician known as a speech-language pathologist (SLP) or a speech therapist. SLPs treat and diagnose speaking disabilities. They help patients with articulation, stuttering, fluency, the rhythm of speech, and more. Additionally, they may treat patients who have difficulty with language and social skills. Patients see SLPs for a variety of reasons, including relearning language after an accident, overcoming a voice disorder, enhancing social communication skills, as well as improving speaking clarity.
