Speech-Language Pathologist
My name is Taylor Alexander and I have worked as a Speech-Language Pathologist since 2017. I have six years of experience working as an itinerant Speech-Language Pathologist for the public school system. My genuine love for working closely with children and their families inspired me to start my own practice.
I earned a Master’s Degree in Communication Disorders from Louisiana State University, Health Sciences Center in Shreveport and a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Disorders from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. I am a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist through LBESPA (Louisiana Board of Examiners Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology) and nationally certified through ASHA (American Speech Language Hearing Association). I have received additional training specific to Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), dyslexia concurrent with speech sound disorders, and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Outside of being a Speech-Language Pathologist, I enjoy spending quality time with family and friends, attending exercise classes, trying new recipes, reading novels for my book club, and taking vacations to the lake or the beach.
Give me a call and we will discuss whether a speech/language evaluation is appropriate for your child.
Case history forms will be completed over the phone, with me personally, to ensure that you have the opportunity to provide clear and detailed information about your child and the opportunity to ask questions.
An evaluation will be conducted to assess your child’s speech and language skills utilizing a variety of measures including standardized assessments/tests, clinical observations, case history information, and parent report. An evaluation will last between 30 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on the areas being assessed:
Following completion of the comprehensive evaluation, you will receive a written evaluation report that will include formal assessment results, informal observations, background information, and recommendations.
We will work together as a team to develop the best therapy plan for your child based on their specific needs. Therapy sessions are typically scheduled 1-2 times per week with session times lasting between 30-45 minutes depending on your child’s needs and your family’s schedule. Services will be provided at a location that is convenient for your family, such as your home, your child’s school, or daycare. Therapy techniques will be evidence/research based and driven by the individual needs and interests of your child.
I will work closely with you as a parent so, together, we can help your child achieve their goals and build the confidence to be a successful communicator! I offer a broad range of services including early language skills (think “late talkers”), vocabulary skills, sentence structure, auditory comprehension skills, social skills, executive functioning, speech sound disorders, fluency disorders (stuttering), and more. The best part? I will travel to you - either to your home or your child’s daycare or school to make it as easy as possible for your child to receive quality therapy services.
If you are unsure about your child’s speech or language development or abilities, speak to your child’s pediatrician, daycare provider, or teacher to gauge your child’s abilities when compared to other children of the same age. If you are still uncertain about your child’s speech or language development, feel free to call me for a complimentary consultation.
If you have ever dealt with an insurance company, you know it can be a struggle. I have chosen to devote my valuable time and resources to providing quality services that will benefit families more directly. Accepted forms of payment include cash, checks, and all major credit cards.
