Speech Therapy With Yaffa
Education
Clinical Experience
I am a California state licensed, nationally certified speech, language pathologist offering speech therapy in Sacramento County, CA. After a thorough initial assessment I provide effective individualized therapy programs one-on-one, either in person or virtually with Skype and FaceTime. I tailor my therapy to each person's individual wants and needs working with my clients to set clear and achievable goals, rather than giving them goals I think they should meet. Because everyone learns in their own unique way, my therapy with individual people will be as different as the people themselves to maximize their results!
