I am Elizabeth Forgey Stafford AKA Liz. I am a Virginia Beach native born and raised. I obtained a Bachelors degree with honors in Speech and Audiology in 2015 at Old Dominion University (ODU). Afterward, I remained at ODU to complete my Masters degree in Speech-Language Pathology in 2017. Prior to becoming a SLP I used to be an AVID tutor, special needs camp counselor, and a reading tutor for a local organization that assists children with dyslexia.

Education
I have specialized training in stuttering, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), Sequential Oral Sensory training and Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) for feeding, DTTS training for Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), and specialized training in dyslexia and literacy.
Bio
I have a deep love for everything speech and I am continuously working on improving my skills in order to provide the most up to date and evidenced based therapeutic strategies to my sessions. This has led me to seek additional training to gain a deeper understanding of how to assist my clients in more complex aspects of our scope of practice such as reading/writing, feeding, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), and Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS). Additionally, I found a deep love for fostering a student clinicians' and CFs' development and helping them gain clinical confidence over the course of their semester or CF experience over the course of my career. In my free time, you can catch me learning new methods, playing with my plethora of animals, or sitting outside getting some much needed Vitamin D as I catch up on a good book.
