About
Hi there! My name is Kaia Schindlbeck and I am a licensed, certified speech and language pathologist with over 13 years of experience. I hold bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Sociology and dual master’s degrees in Communication Disorders, as well as Human Development & Childhood Disorders. My education offers a comprehensive understanding of the human experience.
Throughout my career I have worked in a variety of pediatric settings, however, the majority of my time (11 years) has been spent in multidisciplinary clinics. Working alongside other disciplines has allowed me to learn even more about children’s sensory systems, physical development and their regulation needs. I pride myself in my ability to see the child as a whole, rather than solely through the lens of a speech and language pathologist.
My approach to treatment is play-based, client-lead, and neurodiversity affirming. I incorporate my comprehensive education, my experiences collaborating with other therapists, and raising my own neurodivergent child. These experiences give me a unique perspective that I use to connect with, understand, and support children and their families.
When I'm not wearing my speech therapy hat, you'll find me either outside chasing after my two crazy kiddos or snuggled up with my cat, sipping tea, and enjoying a good book. I look forward to meeting you soon!
See you at SpeechSPOT!
