About the store
Hi, my name is Maddie and I am a speech language pathologist currently working in an outpatient setting, where I primarily treat adults with neurological/cognitive-communication disorders (Stroke, TBI, MCI, Dementia, Parkinson's, Aphasia, Dysarthria, Dysphagia, Apraxia, Anoxic brain injuries, etc). I do also have experience in the pediatric world and continue to feel passionate about maximizing education and awareness of pediatric speech therapy.
I create evidence-based speech therapy materials, including informational handouts, activities, and practical tools designed to support both clinicians and patients. My goal is to make therapy more efficient, engaging, and meaningful - whether you're working on communication, cognition, or carryover into daily life.
Thank you for being here and supporting my work!
