It’s nice to meet you!

I’m Andrea Goddard. As a school SLP for many years and a leader in the local SLP community, I am ready to craft a speech therapy solution to fit your needs.

My approach values neurodiversity affirming practices. I specialize in supporting children who struggle to successfully communicate their wants and needs and may benefit from AAC as well as children with autism demonstrating echolalia or gestalt language processing.

Whether in therapy or coaching, I prioritize functionality and value connection as a way to motivate my clients. I know that children and adults learn best in a fun and playful learning environment where each lesson builds incrementally. I am committed to helping your family’s communication journey feel clearer and more manageable.
