Dedicated SLPA with experience supporting children with autism and developmental needs.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA) with over three years working directly with children with autism and other developmental disabilities, supporting classroom instruction and therapeutic interventions. I have hands-on experience in patient evaluation, developing treatment plans, goal setting, and conducting treatment sessions for early childhood and elementary-aged clients.
I completed a B.A. in Communication Disorders and an SLPA Certificate program, where I completed supervised clinical hours at Little Sprouts Therapy Center and in a Perris Unified School District elementary setting. Professionally, I have served as a classroom aide in a special education setting and worked as a behavior therapist at a pediatric therapy clinic, demonstrating consistent collaboration with multidisciplinary teams and families.
I bring strong interpersonal skills, compassion, persistence, and a commitment to individualized, evidence-informed care. I am driven to improve communication and functional outcomes for children through patient-centered goal planning, collaboration with therapists and educators, and hands-on therapeutic support.
