Hey, Fellow Therapists. I’m Amy!

You may know me as @amyz.theslp on instagram!

I’m a pediatric focused SLP who absolutely loves working with gestalt language processors and AAC users. I HATE to admit this, but I used to believe echolalia was meaningless and had no purpose. I’ve taken extensive coursework over the past two years and have seen amazing improvement in my clients with implementation of techniques I’ve learned! The joy I’ve seen in clients and families when they experience that “ah-ha!” moment is incredible.

I am committed to make you feel empowered and building confidence in working with your clients and families through professional coaching calls.

I have also published a comprehensive handbook for professionals that can provide you with practical tips you can implement right away.
