Kashonda Clophus – Pediatric Speech Therapist in Houston,TX
Helping Kids Thrive with Speech Therapy
Hi, I’m Kashonda Clophus
I’m a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist with over 20 years of experience helping children build communication skills. I provide individualized, child-centered therapy for speech and language delays, articulation, functional communication, and developmental differences, while partnering with caregivers to support communication at home.
Why I love what I do:
I love helping children find their voice, build confidence, and empowering caregivers with practical strategies that support meaningful progress in everyday life.
Why I’m passionate about in-home care:
I’m excited about in-home therapy because it allows me to use familiar toys, activities, and routines while coaching caregivers on practical strategies they can naturally use throughout everyday life.
What does a Speech Therapist Do?
Speech-language pathologists (also known as speech therapists or SLPs) help kids communicate—whether they’re late to talk, hard to understand, or struggling to express themselves. They also support kids with feeding, swallowing, and social interaction. SLPs focus on:
• Speech sounds – helping kids say words clearly so others can understand them
• Language development – building vocabulary, following directions, and expressing ideas
• Social skills – learning how to have conversations, ask questions, advocate for their needs, and take turns
• Stuttering – supporting smoother, more confident speech
• Feeding and swallowing – helping with picky eating, chewing, swallowing challenges, and texture sensitivities.
Speech therapy gives kids the tools to express themselves and connect with the people around them—at home, in school, and in the world.
