Haley started her journey as a psychology major and contemplated being a school social worker. She has always wanted to work with children and help alleviate some of their daily stressors. She has a passion for facilitating communication and healthy interactions which led her down the path of speech and language pathology. Haley appreciates that Speech-Language Pathologists have the ability to work with anyone across the lifespan. In particular, Haley loves working with individuals who have social language impairments, speech sound disorders, and those who utilize Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC) devices. Haley has experience working in both private and public special education schools.
Haley’s goal is to create an open environment that welcomes neurodiversity and all of our differences. Haley enjoys playing with her two puppies, roller skating, being creative, and spending time with friends/family.
Haley has made such a difference in Ben’s life. She demands the best that he can do and supports him in achieving it. Ben loves going to his sessions – he feels valued and heard and knows he’s gaining skills. Not only has she helped improve his communication, she has gone out of her way to seek our feedback and to suggest other activities and programs that might benefit Ben.
Haley, like all the Speakology staff that we’ve had the pleasure of working with, is great at what she does!
