Introducing.. one of our awesome school-based SLPs, Amy! We are so glad you’re on our team! 🤩

✨

Hi! My name is Amy, and I received my Master’s degree in Communication Disorders from Southeastern Louisiana University in 2017. Since then, I have gained experience as a pediatric speech-language pathologist, working with children of all ages to support and strengthen their communication skills.

I have worked with children who present with expressive and receptive language delays, speech sound disorders, fluency differences, and those who benefit from augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) across both school and outpatient settings. Though I have gained invaluable experience working with a wide range of pediatric speech and language differences, I am most passionate about early childhood language development.

I am driven in my provision of neurodiversity-affirming care, and my therapeutic approach is child-led, strength-based, and relationship-centered, with a focus on supporting each child’s autonomy, confidence, and overall communication success.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband and my four-year-old son. We enjoy walking and biking together around Bayou St. John and City Park, not far from where we live.

Please help us welcome another gem to our OT team! 🤩

Hi there! My name is Emma. I’m an occupational therapist with experience working with children with genetic conditions, autism, developmental delay, ADHD, medically complex diagnoses, and pediatric feeding disorders (outpatient and school-based settings). My favorite part of the job is using a strengths-based and neuroaffirming approach to collaborate with families to improve emotional regulation, fine motor skills, and self-help skills. I attended LSU Health Shreveport where I earned my master’s degree in OT. I’ve had the adventure of working in the schools out in San Diego, but like most Louisianians… I made my way back home, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I'm looking forward to teaming up with you and your child to celebrate every little achievement like a big milestone!
