Since graduating from Teachers College, Columbia University in 2004, Syndy has practiced as a pediatric speech-language pathologist. From working with Spanish-speaking families at a children’s hospital in San Diego to servicing private schools in Switzerland, she has been able to gain exposure to a wide range of speech and language disorders while developing a deep appreciation for cultural and individual differences. She enjoys targeting social skills, reading comprehension, memory, and early speech/language development with a fun and multi-sensory approach to learning. Her therapy includes elements of PROMPT, Hanen, SIPT, and Lindamood Bell. Additionally, she has a newfound interest in nutrition and feeding, and she has recently completed the Sequential Oral Sensory Approach to Feeding course. Syndy is the newest member of the WSHLA board and she is excited to help promote multi-disciplinary networking and continued education.
