CommuniKate Speech Therapy

CommuniKate Speech Therapy Now offering pediatric speech therapy services including speech and language treatment, evaluations, and parent training for language development.

I believe that therapy is most effective when the three key members– child, family, and therapist–work together. The goal of CommuniKate is for knowledge to be shared and for us to learn from each other. As a parent, you are the expert in your child, and as a speech language pathologist, I am an expert in my field of speech and language development. Let’s work together through a family centered approach to find ways to best support your child’s needs. I believe in using the current strengths of your child to help them expand and grow.

Advancing Research in Developmental Language

Mabel L. Rice has been a leading voice in research on Specific Language Impairment (now Developmental Language Disorder).

Her work reshaped how clinicians diagnose and understand language disorders — influencing policy, practice, and long-term outcomes for children.

Research changes lives. Evidence protects children.

Communication is more than spoken words.

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) includes many ways people communicate besides talking, such as gestures, pictures, writing, and speech-generating devices. AAC can support people of all ages who have difficulty with speech or language.

Everyone deserves a way to communicate.

Margaret Gray Blanton

A Woman Who Helped Formalize Clinical Training

Margaret Gray Blanton founded one of the first speech and hearing clinics at the University of Texas and was among the first women to earn a PhD in speech pathology.

She championed structured clinical education — something we now consider essential.

Her advocacy helped move speech therapy from informal practice to evidence-based clinical discipline.
Representation and rigor matter.

Simple activities can help build your child’s language skills.

Model clear speech, expand on what your child says, ask fun questions, and sing songs together.

Playful conversations throughout the day help grow vocabulary and communication.

Everyday moments can help build your baby’s communication skills.

Talking during routines, copying your baby’s sounds, playing simple games, and reading together all support early language development.

Little moments make a big difference.

Edna Hill Young

Honoring a Pioneer in Speech-Language Pathology

Long before speech therapy was widely recognized, Edna Hill Young was helping shape the field.
She played a foundational role in establishing early academic training programs in speech correction — helping legitimize speech therapy as a profession in the early 20th century.

Because of leaders like her, generations of clinicians have had structured training and professional standards to stand on.

We build because they built first.
