Hi, I’m Katie, a board-certified specialist in child language and practicing speech-language pathologist (CCC-SLP) since 2008.

I know how overwhelming it can feel to support middle and high school students because I’ve been there too. This space is here to help SLPs, Clinical Fellows, and grad students feel more confident, especially when working with Autistic & neurodivergent teens.

Whether you're new to this age group or just looking for fresh, evidence-based ideas, you'll find no-prep, neurodiversity-affirming materials, trauma-informed tools, and freebies to support your therapy sessions and IEP planning.

You’re in the right place if you:

  • Work in middle or high school settings

  • Want to engage older students more effectively

  • Are using a neurodiversity-affirming approach

Welcome! I’m here to support you and share any tips I've learned along the way.

Are you seeking community? You are not alone. Connect with me!
