Meet the Speech Therapists Behind Canopy
Every family at Canopy works directly with one of our ASHA-Certified Speech-Language Pathologists.
Our therapists are highly trained and experienced, with specialties across different ages and communication needs.
Just as importantly, they bring patience, encouragement, and the ability to connect with the children they work with. They understand what motivates them and adjust their approach as needs change. They know when to challenge, when to slow down, and when to try something different, so therapy continues to evolve as your child grows.
