Meet Kaitlyn Salas
Hi, I'm Kaitlyn Salas, a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist dedicated to supporting the pediatric population—from our earliest learners through age 22. I have experience across clinic settings, schools, and telehealth, allowing me to approach each child's needs with flexibility, creativity, and a deep understanding of the environments where they learn and grow. My practice is rooted in a family-centered, play-based approach that empowers children to build meaningful communication skills while keeping therapy engaging and fun. In addition to direct therapy, I offer IEP consulting and collaborate closely with school teams to ensure students receive the support, advocacy, and individualized services they deserve. My goal is always the same: to help every child find their voice and thrive.
