My name is Laura aka SLP Mommy of Apraxia, and I’ve been providing speech/language services in the greater Denver Metro Area for 20 years. I received my bachelor degree in Communication Disorders at Metro State University, and my master’s degree in speech/language pathology at the University of Northern Colorado. I am a certified member of the American Speech/Language and Hearing Association. Additionally, I am licensed by DORA Colorado as well as the Colorado Department of Education.
I am passionate about working with children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), following my own daughter’s diagnosis in 2012. I have received awards from ASHA including the Media and ACE award for my work with CAS. Furthermore, I’ve been active in the apraxia community since 2015 involved in many different organizations and businesses supporting children with CAS and their families.
