Meet Kylee- a dedicated Speech-Language Pathologist Assistant with a Bachelor's degree from California State University, Los Angeles. She has experience supporting children across various settings, including in-home early intervention, school systems, and private practice. Her diverse clinical experiences have allowed her to work with children who have a wide range of speech and language needs.
Kylee is passionate about supporting minimally verbal and early verbal children using AAC as a primary or supplemental means of communication. She hopes to continue her education and expertise in the area of AAC to help increase access to effective communication systems and empower more children to communicate independently.
As a neurodiversity affirming therapist, Kylee believes that speech and language therapy should honor each child's unique way of experiencing and communicating with the world. She takes a child centered approach that respects sensory needs and focuses of functional, meaningful communication. She strives to provide individualized support to each child.
When Kylee is not providing therapy, she likes to spend time with her friends and family, including her dog Kiro. She also loves to visit Disneyland and travel to new places to experience new cultures.
