Former scientist and market researcher Carolina Perez-Venero comes to us with a degree in Biological Sciences from Stanford University and an MBA from the University of Michigan. Her personal experiences as the mother of children with speech and language concerns led her to pursue a career in speech language pathology. Since graduating with her Masters in Communication Sciences and Disorders from University if Wisconsin-Eau Claire in 2017, Carolina has honed her clinical skills through multi-faceted experiences conducting assessments and delivering individualized therapy to children with a variety of language, articulation, and phonological disorder.  She has a successful track record treating children with highly unintelligible speech, as well as those with lisps and other specific articulation concerns.  She also specializes in facilitating reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and language processing in children from elementary to high school age. She believes in empowering children and their parents/caregivers with the tools they need to develop awareness and support self-improvement, and she tailors each treatment plan accordingly. Carolina is certified by the Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and licensed to practice in the state of California.
