Hi! My name is Deanna, and I am the founder, owner, and speech-language pathologist at Echo Creek Speech Therapy. First and foremost, I believe in delivering neurodiversity-affirming speech therapy services to a variety of ages. I work with everyone from minimally verbal children and those with speech/language delays, gestalt language processors and other complex communicators, people who stutter, and more. I take a play-based approach — not just because it’s fun, but because research shows that it’s most effective. I also provide parent coaching sessions to help caregivers gain confidence in using evidence-based speech therapy techniques themselves.
