🎁 Although our team is a little smaller, we were still able to make a difference in the lives of many.
🎁 This year alone we partnered with more than 50 families about ten school districts to provide speech therapy services and conduct bilingual evaluations.
🎁 None of this could’ve been achieved without planning, networking, and consistent efforts from our team.

🌟Ms. Paula, SLP is proud of the work we do.
Here’s to another great year in 2026! 🥂
