Helping Kids Thrive with Speech Therapy
Hi, I'm Lakeisha
I'm a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist with extensive experience in school, early childhood intervention, and outpatient settings, specializing in therapy for infants (6 months to 5 years old). My clinical interests include speech and language delays, autism spectrum disorder, fluency, and parent/caregiver coaching, consultations to support community acceptance of those with communication challenges. I tailor treatment to each child's needs, thriving on witnessing progress. As a passionate therapist, I'm dedicated to keeping therapy engaging and fun!
Why I love what I do:
I love improving the quality of life for those who lack the ability to communicate effectively.
Why I’m passionate about in-home care:
I am excited to empower caregivers while helping children to improve their speech and language skills.
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
Speech therapy gives kids the tools to express themselves and connect with the people around them—at home, in school, and in the world.
