Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist for PreK and Elementary

Kassidy S.

I am a Speech-Language Pathologist with a Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology and over 12 years of experience working with children with ADHD, Autism, Down syndrome, language disorders, behavioral challenges, and social-emotional needs.

I currently work as a K–8 Speech-Language Pathologist in a special education school and specialize in helping children develop the foundational skills needed for communication, literacy, and academic success.

Areas I can support include:

• Language development (vocabulary, grammar, comprehension, following directions, answering questions, conversation skills)

• Early literacy and phonological awareness (rhyming, syllables, sound identification, blending, segmenting, and other pre-reading skills)

• Reading intervention for early learners

• AAC parent coaching and support for families using communication devices

• Social communication and pragmatic language skills

• Special education support and learning strategies

• Homework help and academic support for elementary students

My approach is engaging, individualized, and strengths-based. I work closely with families to provide practical strategies that can be used at home to support communication, learning, and independence. Whether your child needs extra support building language skills, preparing for reading success, or using AAC more effectively, I strive to make learning fun, meaningful, and confidence-building.
