Pediatric Speech Therapy Clinic
"We Have a Passion for Pediatrics."
"Our mission is to provide quality speech-language and feeding therapy services to the pediatric population in order to enhance their verbal and non-verbal communication skills. We accomplish this by identifying concerns through specialized evaluations and the development of goals to meet the needs of the child and the family."

Originally from southern Illinois, I moved to Myrtle Beach and worked at the Pee Dee Speech & Hearing Center for two years prior to opening Young Talkers in September of 2007. My work experience has involved providing clinical, school, and home based therapy for children with speech-language needs; including children who have been diagnosed with Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, and Down Syndrome.
