Kids SPOT Team since: 2013
"In the beginning of my studies and my career, my passions were (and still are) dysphagia and feeding; however, since starting at Kids SPOT I have discovered and cultivated a passion for language development. I am constantly inspired when I see a child develop an ability to communicate effectively with their family/caregiver and when I witness the connection that follows. "
